Rishie's FITMENT RECIPE

[JoshP5]

Pretty well if you drive on smooth roads. If not consider 205/45.

 

[Wykydtron]

I've definitely considered them, but when it comes down to $$$, I can get a set of the 40 series for dirt cheap.

 

[justanothermp5]

alright since the fitment recipe says that 17x7.5 u need +45 or higher
im getting 17x8 with a +48 offset
will these work on a protege 5?

 

[mazdaspeed777]

Anyone know if these would fit on my P5. My P5 is lowered 1.5":

17" ADR Concept Pro's
17x7 42mm offset
with 225/45/17 Kumho tires

I'm looking for some 15x7's to fit my P5 for my track tires, just have steelies now. What should I look for offset? 42?

45 to be safe, 50 or 55 if you want to use wider tires.

 

[TurfBurn]

I used a 40 or 42 offset without issue on a 15x7 and ran 205 Kumho's and Hoosiers without any issue. The hoosiers would JUST barely touch the rear finder lip, but no big deal really.

 

[spotthedogg]

My next question is has anyone tried running the 215/45/16 Azenis on a P5? I would really like to get these tires and the OD is pretty much exactly right at 23.6". I run WedsSport TC005 16x7 and 42 offset I think.

 

[shane02pro5]

Man that's going to be real close considering you look pretty low. I run 215/35/18 on a 7.5" 50mm offset and I can go all the way to the ground with about .200" to my fender and .200" to the coilover. So you will be .062 closer to the fender than I am??

 

[spotthedogg]

I bought some used 1995 Millenia 15x6.5" wheels at $50 each. They are 11lbs. and look half decent.

I am almost positive that these wont fit....but there's that little voice inside of me saying 'try it' 'try it'. lol

Anyway wheels are 17x8 with a +45 offset and I am at stock height. Also what size tire would be best...if they will fit.

 

[TurfBurn]

Yeah, they won't. I tried it already. You'd need about a 38mm offset depending on your shocks, you'll need to trim out the fenders, and you can at best do a 225 in the back and a 235 in the front and it all has to be "perfect" and run relatively agressive negative camber to get them to tuck in. So no go.

 

[CTt3P5]

Well I am at stock height but would more than likely drop it eventually to get rid of the 4x4 stance.

I know quite a few other members are rolling on 16x8 FD's and 18x8 RX-8 wheels but don't think I have seen anyone on 17x8's. A 215/45/17 has been suggested for tire size and would fender rolling help?

 

[shane02pro5]

You'd need an extra 1/2"+/- of fender on a P5 for this offset!

we're talking about 17x8s, not 17x7s


in either case, they won't fit very well

 

[shane02pro5]

The RX-8 wheels are 18x8's with 50mm offset supposedly squeeze right in there!?

 

[CTt3P5]

Damn, damn and damn.....thanks guys for the help. I knew they wouldn't fit but just had to satisfy that little voice inside of me. lol

It does suck though because these would have looked very nice on my A3E.

 

[CTt3P5]

Recipe calls for 215/40/17 with a +45 or higher offset....how about 215/45 with a +55 offset????

 

[shane02pro5]

You'll be hitting the strut with that tall of a tire I think with such a high neg offset!? What width is this?
