How Big Can I Go (Wheels)

[LovemyProtege]

I was wondering what size I can go up to w/o moding wheel wells. also how wide I can go. and if anyone off the top of there head knows the bolt pattern and offset i need.

Secondly any suggestion on wheels, i have a red p5' with a cf evo hood
I was thinking about the focal f5 18" 's or the IKON MR-7, focal R3

(redp5)

I have the falken Circuit Spec 2's 18x7.5 with 35 series falken ziex tires and its great

Last year I ran 215/35r18 Konig prophets with falken ziex 502. However you can fit a 215/30r19 in there. I manage a tire store so i read up on it. However that size is SUPER UNCOMMON and real $$$$. The one thing i noticed about having 18's is that you get a lot of wheel hop when you accelerate hard from a standstill, and I think that you get better handling with 16's with a real good rubber like a Falken 451 or a BFG KDW. Plus witha larger wheel your acceleration will be down as for the excess weight of a large wheel.... however they do look mighty damn sexy, and should get the interest of wheel biting ladeez!!

there have been a user or two on this forum running 19s but why the hell would you want something that ungainly and uberbling on a protege5?

i wouldn't runn anything larger than 18"s. even these are a bit much for everyday driving. i've got mp mp3 17's on for the off season and they are a nice fit!

I have 18''s on my car and they look great (naughty)

<<-----------


but that just means more expensive tires

Why not go with Dubs? Then you can be blingin with all of your buds.

 

[gimpo2]

yeah go with dubs and no tires... that'll fit too

 

[JOS3]

just get 17's. what is it with people wanting the biggest rims possible? you guys watch too much pimp my ride. lay off of the dub magazines, you drive proteges.
