Protege 5 with Mazdaspeed Protege Rims

[alexelie]

what is the drop for eibach pro kit? No rubbing?

 

[mx-p5]

nope, no rubbing on the RH's with a 215/45/17

and eibach kit calls for 1.4 up front and 1.8 in the rear

 

[neuspeed_junker]

pls drop it. even just the $500 tokico kit from PG would look good. if you dont drop it, thats cool too. i just think they look much much better w/ the drop.

Drops are mandatory.

 

[alexelie]

1.8 in the rear??so that means the front stands higher than the back!?

 

[Peter5]

go for tein s-tech w/ illumina or hp's , 1.8 front , 1.6 rear i think ? or 1.4

 

[neuspeed_junker]

3'' drop would be best

3'' drop would be best

Those are some beautiful cars!

Indeed, but those are some heavy rims. So what you say, well say goodbye to a few horsepower that's all.

 

[mx-p5]

Yeah, they are VERY heavy

But, all i do is drive to work and back, so, no, i don't notice any difference

bump for more pix

OK man.. if you need anymore pics good look, went though 40+ pages of topics and if they arnt posted on any of them, good luck finding any more..

Anyways theres WAY more then enough pics here to get the idea IMHO.

Outlaw,

I am also in NJ, came we meet up to discuss your set up...?

 

[turbo_slug]

what is the offset and width of the msp rims?

are they the same as mazda3 gt 17" rims? i'm getting a set of those and am worried about rubbing issues. i currently have stock 02 p5 wheels+205/50/16 tires and they're very close to rubbing even though the fenders are already rolled.

MSP wheels are +55

thanks...

looks as if my mazda3 gt rims are 52.5mm offset...do you think it'll rub if i install them on a lowered PR5 w/ 205 40 17 tires? the car is pretty low. it currently has stock rims w/ 205 50 16 tires and the tires are tucked just a tad bit under the fenders.

You should be fine. OEM P5 wheels are +50, so the MZ3 wheels will actually be tucking more

i thought they'd stick out about 4mm further because the MZ3 wheels are 1/2" wider than PR5 ones?

No matter how many threads I've read like this, its always nice to see a P5 with MSP wheels. Good stuff.
