mp5 on 18''s

[1FASTMP5]

mspeedpro- the rims are 18 x 7.5 with a 48mm offset.
tire size is 215/35zr18.
if you get 18 x 7.5 with a 45mm offset you could rub depending on how low you go? if you go like 2'' i think you will be fine...anymore than that and you will rub on driveways and bumps a little, not much though. one thing is for sure if you do rub it will be on you passenger side first. dont ask why but it will for some reason. hope it helps, mike

i believe the MSP should follow the same guidelines that the Protege, P5, and MP3 follow right? and if thats true than just follow Rishie's fitment guidelines available @ http://www.mazdamp3.com/vbb225/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9129 and your good to go...

215/40/17; 215/35/18
-------------
7.0" +45 and higher
7.5" +48 and higher

205/40/17
-------------
7.0" +42 and higher; Barely making it
7.5" +48 or higher, the +45 still worries me with this width on a 205.

Mazda Protege Sedan
----------------------------
Can run 2 to 3 mm less offset than the Wagon. Appears to have a little more room under the fender. As we've got no problems with wheelguuruu's 19's at all.

these fitments are for guranteed NO RUBBING... i think...


which includes lowered cars... as in if you follow these guidelines then your tires should be within the fender; so even if there is a tire tuck under the fender, it should not rub... stiffer sway bars may be a good idea though...
