Im getting my ms6 wheels for my p5 this week possibly. Im glad I found this thread. Is there any rubbing in the back at all? Thats my only concern because I have had 18s on my car before and they rubbed when I had equipement in the back.

My back side is raised a little higher than the front. but i havent had any problems there. As for the front i noticed that theres some rubbing on the plastic. I plan to raise the front up 1/4 to 1/2 more. After that it should be just fine.

Those rims are sex. Subbin for details so that maybe one day I can do this too. 808...have you driven the car with people in the back to see if it rubs then?

 

[HKPRO5]

My friends are pretty heavy (240 and 310) and they sit in the back. Usually thats when i get the rubbing. lol
Other than that everyday driving is not a problem.

Has your ability to accelerate been affected considerably? I.e. does it "feel" any different?

 

[HKPRO5]

Not really. The Ride is more comfortable. I had 215/35/18s on my other rims.

Oh, OK. I meant going from, say, a stock rim to an 18".

Eh i dont know then. lol I bought the car with some dinky rims. lol

If you're able to get around, it's all that really matters

yea, but these rims were hashed, looks like all its life was spent fighting curbs and pot holes. That was one of the main reasons i got the new rims.

I hear you on that. I bought my car with 15K miles on it, and the stock rims were curbed badly already.

I have not put a single nick on them in the 4 years (and 100K+ miles) that I've owned the car. (usa) Looking at new wheels as well now that the damage is finally getting to me. (bolt)
