do some wide 17's. 17x8.5 +30 mmmmmmm

hehe... i wish i could afford new rims... but i have some stock 17" mazda3 rims just collecting dust for about a year now under my house... maybe im in the wrong thread... but i'm debating between 215/40/17 or 205/45/17 i used the tire calculator and both come close to the stock 205/50/16 tire size so my speedometer wont be that off

That's a 6.75 mm greater tire height. Was it rubbing on the lips in the rear?

sorry for the slow reply, yes it was.

18" Drags
This pic was just a test fit.

^^^^ I like

do they fit with the car on the ground? There's a pretty significant difference between fitment in clearance with the suspension in full droop, static with the car on the ground, and at full compression.

 

[CDNRedP5]

^^^^^ its on the ground. The jack is still there cause it was a test fit.

 

[aMaff]

gotcha. Looked like the jack was still supporting the weight.

car isn't lowered yet, so i could see how you could be mistaken.

It's going to look good if/after you lower it

I'm lookin to get some wheels soon so i am ready when the snow melts. i have a local shop lookin for me and they sent me some pics and i was wondering what you guys think.
i have an 02 midnight blue pro5 that i just got three months ago it isn't lowered.
the wheels are FRD 168 they are 17x7 and will be in gunmetal grey

^^not my style. plus the car will look higher without a drop. msp rims look great imo, if you can find a set, they look better than that.

how deep is that lip? like the lip. but i would get it dropped the same time you put the rims on.

I really like the msp rims too but it would be really hard to find some where i live.

I'm not sure how deep the lip is i e-mailed him so i may find out monday.

What do you guys think about these? going on my midnight blue p5
17x7 with a 45mm offset (i shouldn't have any problems with a 45mm offset right? i'm not lowered, and would 205/45/17 work or would they rub?)
