update: I sold the rims because I got a great deal on the mp3 racing harts + tires. So no ms3 rims for me.

lol... seems I'm going to be taking over this thread, I should be getting them within a week or so... gotta pick up the springs this weekend first.

Edit 215/45/18 won't fit...right ? (Stock MS3 tires)

 

[whitemp5seattle]

you bought ms3 rims? or mp3 rims?

sweet...this thread is resurrected!!! 215/35/18 is the size you'll want. I don't think the 45 series tire would fit especially since the p5 has a little less clearance in the back...

Yes it has (lol2)

Yeah, I didn't think the 45's would fit... so 35's it is. Any tire in paticular I should look at ?

looking for a summer tire I take it?

I just did a lot of research and the tires I decided on (for performance and price) were the Falken FK-452 summer tires.

I was also looking at Kumho Ecsta SPT, Falken Azenis ST-115, Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R ($$$), and the Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2.

This might sound stupid, but I'm getting my springs too... I need to know with the 18's setup 215/35/18 what spring would would work for me...

I know there seems to be a ride difference depending on the spring...

Also anyone have input on Kumho AST ?

I have the AST's in size 205/50/16 and like them. They are not as grippy in the turns as my old Proxy TPT's but stick pretty good in the wet and the dry. I also noticed decent traction in the winter which might change given the size you are going with (dunno). Wear has been good and noise isn't too bad (although I tend to drive with the music a little loud). Overall for the price you can't beat them.

K I got my tires & springs.... but I haven't received my rims yet (???) My question is the following on Eibachi Pro's w/215/18/35 would I need to roll my fenders ?
