I wouldnt doubt it! Does it rub on the threads instead of the tire wall?

Sorry, awful pictures - phone cam is really bad, but looks like it's raining forever, so right after the wash I took couple of pics...

Name of the Rim: Kosei RS (color - diamond)
Rim Size: 17*8 ET45
Name of the tire: Yokohama AdvanSport V103 XL
Tire size: 245/45/ZR17
Spring/Coilover Set up: pure stock so far
Camber settings: stock
Fenders: stock

Fitment issues: none so far, no rubbing, everything seems to be fine
Looks quite nice to me, because I don't like very aggressive look. On the photos it is not seen clearly, but in reality nickeled stripes are not so bright and black powdercoating inside the rim is looking quite nice to me.

so my friend and i were talking and while he isnt too knowledgeable about cars, he made the comment that my 09 ms3 looks like the new subaru sti. after i looked at my car i realized he was onto something and i thought that the gold bbs wheels wouldnt look too bad on the car. would they fit? cause i know that wheels for the sti have around the same offset for wheels on an ms3

Subarus have a 56.1mm hub bore, our cars use a 67.1mm bore. There was a member on M3F that had a set machined so he could use them on his car.

1) See above.
2) Motegi SP-10 - Hyperblack
3) 18 x 8 +40
4) Bridgestone RE050A
5) 215/45/18
6) Stock Suspension
7) Stock camber
8) Rear fenders are rolled almost flat. No pulling of the fender.
9) I did not try running the wheel/tire combo without rolling the fenders. I get full lock to lock without rubbing in the front.
10) I did not notice any rubbing with the 215's, but I not have 235/40/18 Sumitomo HTR ZIII's and they rub with the trunk fully loaded or with people in the back.
11) Pretty flush looking to me. The rears could come out maybe 5mm more, but the front is as far as they can go before they poke from the fender. Even then, you will need some negative camber to not rub in the rear where the bumper meets the fender. I'm going to get some negative camber in the back to get rid of the rubbing.

I'm wanting to get the xxr 522 in 18x8.5 with a +38 offset I will have to roll finders right?

 

[shaneS]

1- XXR 521 Gold w/ Polished Lip
2- 18x8.5 +30
3- Sumitomo HTR Z III
4- 215/40/18
5- Dropped on KW Variant 1 coilovers, roughly 1.5 inches.
6- Natural camber from the drop is all I have.
7- Rear fenders are rolled flat. Front is stock. If I were to lower Id probably need a pull though.
8- No rubbing issues so far, maybe cause of my height, but I also am a careful driver. I drive it just like I did with stock wheels and my drop, just slightly slower on speedbumps and sharp turns.
9- Wheel sticks out of the fenders slightly, the tires with the stretch end up pretty flush with the fenders. Very good look for aggressive wheels, even when not slammed.

 

[daonly1around]

looks good, but would be better with a little more drop.

wheels installed tomorrow, 215/50/17 , Rota torque powder coated gloss black. suspension will be H&R springs. Think there will be any issues?

wheel width and offset are important to know...? but must likely you'll be ok.

 

[theblackspeed]

17x8 offset is +48. Thinking bout adding spacers also anyone know the proper offset to make the wheels flush with the car?
