I contacted Rishie about a set of 18 x 7.5 rims with a 45mm offset for my MP3. He told me that they will rub and that he does not reccommend that I get them. But I am hardheaded. I really want these rims, and I want 18's, not 17's. I was wondering if anyone has rims these size with the exact offset. If so, how bad rubbing do you get, or is it really not worth it. I was condering camber adjustments or getting a couple of millimeters shaved off of each rim. Any help will be greatly appreciated. And thanx Rishie for all your help!
 
if he says, "they'll rub" he means "they'll rub!"

i dunno man, id either pick different rims, or get the 17's...
 
They'll only rub if you're dumb enough to let them. Don't listen to some these ard groupies. They've been led to believe that p5s are only capable of ugly cheap wheels that, hey what do you know, ard seems to have readily available. Looking at the wheels you want I'm positive that I would be able to make them work. But thats just me. (someone who knows how to style his car his way)

OBVIOUSLY you do NOT know Rishie, he has personally out of pocket purchased wheels just to see if they would work or not...and they are actually putting them on P5's and Sedans both stock height and lowered and doing the R & D. it has nothing to do with rims he has available to sell.

and if you want something bad enough.....and if it looks good enough....try working with a reputable dealer...maybe if they care about you and your business they will spend the time to get the manufacturer of that wheel to turn them out in the proper offset for your car...... I know this one too....as RISHIE just spent a year working on Rota to turn out the Battles for the P5....as you will see there is an add in this very forum for them.....

Thanks Rishie.
