Andres said:But they would fit ?
I love to do some hard-cornering, but hate to hear tires rubbing the car or things like that...
Is it possible to turn around corners hard with 19s and really low suspensions ???
Don't like air-suspensions...
Thanks in advance for the details in offsets, widths, and tire brand options and measurements. Preferably I would like to have ultra-lite forged wheels...
FEDE.
Nice pic...question for you. I noticed ur rolling on 18x7.5 in rims. What is the offset of the rims on your P5?

OK question...after reading the first post, I think this should be ok, but I want to make sure...
So, on a p5, if I had 18x7 rims with a +52 offset and a tire size of 215/35/18...I'd be good to go, right?
I'm not lowered (yet) but would probably think about doing it...

I think you would want a +45 or +48 offset. The +48 would be safer but +45 I have heard will work fine on a sedan.

my mazda 3 rims are 17X6.5 with a 52.5 offset.. would 215-45-17s run good on my stock suspension pro5?? also, soon i will be getting eibach springs and tokico hp struts (blues) would this combo sit well??

You will be very close to the strut with the 52.5mm offset and with a 215/45, 40's would be better. Worst case with the offset is that you could probably get some .100" thick spacers to shift them back out a little.

i figured it would be pretty tight.. i put the rims up on the rear to test fit them and they have 205-50s on em and i could get about a finger and a half between the tire and the strut.. the clearance between the strut perch and the top of the tire could be another story, (there was ample clearance, but the tires are also worn down to pretty much nothing).. 215-45 would give a 96.75 sidewall, whereas the 205-50 gives a 102.5 sidewall.. i didnt really want to go down to 40s caus i live in nyc.. (even tho they look nicer)..
I kind of had my mind set on 17x7 Enkei Evo6 wheels with 215/40R17's until I did some looking around and couldn't find them any higher than +42 offset. I could have gone with 205/40R17's then but as the fitment recipe says, they'd barely fit.
Konig, on the other hand, has 17x7 Holes with +45mm offset, so I'll probably go that route.
this stuff is all confusing

It may hit your strut spring perch with that slightly taller tire. I only see 215/35/18's which is what I have with full coilovers which just barely clear my adjustment collars. 215/35/18's are a more common size.

That tire will stand .42" taller off the wheel.
