Rishie's FITMENT RECIPE

they will not fit, milling it down or rolling will do the job, i dont recommend though, its best playing it safe than sorry and deal with the problems
 
I just brought back my P5 and exchanged it for an MSP and i wanted to know if i could keep my winter tires ?

they are 195/55/15 ... i don't know about the offset, but they regular protege tires so i'm assuming they would work. But the salesguy was not sure if the bolt pattern or offset was the same or not.

anybody ?

thanks
 
Ok i got a new one. I want to go wider. How about a 225-45 17 X 7.0 w/50 offset with a 1.25'' drop.. Will it fit????

OK, so I have a question about the the stock rims that come with my 2003 P5. I know they are 16 inch rims with a 5-bolt pattern (of course) but what are the other important characteristics like width, bolt spacing, offset... or even weight if anyone ever bothered to weigh them. Thanks.
 
i dont know if anyone have already asked this but whats the MAX tire width....im looking into getin 18s but the Volks im looking at start out at 7.5"....will it still fit?

max tire width with a 18 is 215, 225 if you have a higher offset, but on hard turns you will rub with 225, 7.5 is fine with 215
 
is a 47 offset close enough not to make big problems with 7.5 inch wheel on a P5? I can't find much regarding this, since it seems most wheels are coming in 42,45,or 48, and i remember previous posts talking about how 45 was just a little too close so move to a 48.
 
Will 17" Enkei RF1 fit a 2003.5 protege 5?

Hey all,

ok I'm really not good with all the technical stuff. Can you help me out?

I have a friend who's gonna sell her 17" Enkei RF1's and she said she'd give 'em to me for $100 (rims only). Sounds like a great way to get rid of the stock rims and get bigger rims (current stock ones are 16" I think).

Here's the thing: I'm not sure if her 17" RF1's will fit my 2003.5 protege5. Does anybody else have those rims on their car? Or does anybody know if they will fit? I don't have the car lowered yet, but might in the near future...

Thanks!
Jeff
 
Hey, I'm looking into some ADR Visions and the specs are as follows:

17x7 5x100/114.3 offset 48

Would I use 215/40/17's or 205's? Also, how well will this fit? On the recipe on the first page it says +45 and higher for 17x7, just making sure. Thanks for any input you guys can give me!

both will fit nicely, so it's up to you, i'd go with the 215, wider and not that much more expensive

i couldnt find any specs, if you could find them, i'd be happy to help
 
5 lug sedans can fit 225/35/18 with a +48mm offset. so that would obviously work for a 4 lug correct? and if so, what if i did a 225/35/17 with a +48, would that work? thanks in advanced

Yay! I finally found rims for my car that will actually fit! Photochop time!

ok so 48+ offset would fit nicely...but doesn't that make your wheels go quite inside? How does this offset affect your vehicle's performance and any worries on tire wears? Does anyone have this particular offset with either the 205/40's or 215/40's and had any problems?
