Rim/Suspension Pictures! Post 'Em!

[Lewis7789]

My P5 on Tein S-tech's and Tokico blues.

17" Enkei RPF1's on Khumo 215/40-17's.

I do rub in the back though, even after rolling my fenders. I'm going to get 205/40's once these tires get worn out in auto-x this year.

 

[beej336]

do you guys think 215 width tires would work on my setup?
(again, its 17x7.5 +45 with Eibach pro-kit)

17x7.5 +45 Rota Jmag
215/40/17 falken tires
Fortune auto coilovers

(squinty)

okay, okay, i deserve that one. i wasnt paying a whole lot of attention to that one.

(i know this question is a bit off-topic, but i find it okay since it is my thread haha.) but what do you guys like better: 205/45's or 215/40's on a 17x7.5?
i understand that the 215's are wider and provide better performance that way, and the 205's are thicker and will have a smoother ride; but what're your opinions?

 

[beej336]

by the way Lewis, i like your setup.

Do you think I will rub on MZ3 wheels?

17"msr wheels with 205/40/17 tires with eibach springs, i would really like to get some decent 18" on there with some coilovers but i'm too cheap and have to wait for a good deal.

^ holy carp, that is clean! Wouldn't be my first choice of body kit, but very nice none the less.

I'm lovin that rear bumper. The front is cool too.

The cat I bought the Enkei's from had them on his P5 and he said he didn't rub. Some people say they don't rub, but honestly, I would go with a 205 width tire. I can't put anything in my P5 without it rubbing in the back on the passenger side. I had my Dad (160lbs) in the car and picked up a 40lbs bag of birdfood and put it in the trunk and it rubbed. It's really annoying. My winter wheels are the OEM 16's on Blizzaks 205/55-16 and they don't rub at all, even with 3 fat people in the car. But that's just my oppinion.

 

[beej336]

its been a while, so here's a bump. i'd love to see some more setups!

the tires for my wheels are coming in this week, they'll be on the car soon. and i will be sure to upload pictures within a week of getting the rims on. when summer comes around i will have my pro-kit installed as well.

[hornsfan10609]

It looks like it's made for a sedan, the grille and headlights look like they came off of a regular protege.

 

[aznsebass]

very nice. what kind of body kit is that?

its the accolade kit with the fog and grille inserts. never actually seen one complete done on a P5 before. looks good
