CX7 rims on a P5??

[marcs_sp20]

Hey Guys,

Just seeing if anyone has put CX7 rims (snowflakes) on a P5 yet?

I wanna see if I will be the first to do it Picked up a set for $258aud, so all i need is some 215/35 tyres so they'll fit

Here is a photoshop image a mate did for me...

Cheers
Marc

arent the snowflake cx-7 wheels the same as the snowflake 3 wheels? i mean, at least the same style, maybe different sizes?

either way, i wanna see pics too

The Mazda 3 rims are 17x7" rims, whereas the cx7's are 18x7.5". I may have to get the rear fenders rolled as i'll be running a wider offset.. we'll see in a month or 2

I have yet to see someone do this. What is the offset of the CX-7 wheels?

Offset? That's all that comes to my mind.

 

[astraelraen]

The CX7 wheels are 18x7.5 50 offset

Then I see no problem if he plans on running the 215/35, he might even be able to squeeze a 215/40 on there w/o rubbing.

Different design, I think the 3's are 17" wheels, not 18" like I have

[neuspeed_junker]

look forward to seeing pics G

 

[marcs_sp20]

The pics... not the best, as taken with teh camera fone (batteries died in the digi) Will hopefully take the SP20 & the missus Lancer out for a cruise to the new shopping complex down the road for a shoot (moreso for the corragated iron walls, would be a good background...)

Good thing is that there is no scrubbing, and minimal road noise, so im happy as a pig in mud

Cheers
