The Baby has arrived...

[khaosman]

and I got to say I love her

Woke up at 5:30am Wednesday and drove to Minnesota. About 9 hours later, I was back home with my new baby. I'm very pleased with the purchase

The stock stereo has got to go though. My Alpine 9835 will be in by the end of the weekend and the rest will follow soon. I got an alarm installed today also.

Well, except the Brahma 12 which I sold. I'm going for something more efficient and cheaper

Wheels and lowering in the spring My friend says 18s... and my wallet says 17s. We'll see what happens! The roads here are so terrible though. 18" wheels + lowered would be terrible, hehe

18s look goofy IMO, since you can't get the proper width. besides, they barely fit even with low profile tires

17x7 rims at +45 offset and 215/40/17 tires work best from what I've seen

Amen to that.

Seriously, 18s are wonky.

18x8 fit perfect, great width, use 235 40 18 tires, fits great and looks incredible

Walser Mazda in Burnsville

It sounds like 17s are the way to go then. I just calculated how big of a sub box I could put in if I wanted... holy crap! Pretty spacious boot

You could get a new pair of 16"s that fill the wheel well correctly. s***, my 15" snows look better than the stock wheels.

 

[Douggie]

It's in great condition! Are those tires Kumho ASXs? What's the size?

 

[Tuned MP5T]

Congrads and let the modding begin.

 

[Natey]

wonky? :'(

18X7.5 wrapped in 215/40's I dunno if Patmine's car is stock height or what, but I've never heard of a P5 on 235's.

Nice P5, BTW! (wiggle)

 

[khaosman]

Natey, those look nice. In fact, that wheel style/color scheme is exactly what I wanted had I gotten a silver MP5.

Douggie, they are the ASX but I'll have to check the size tomorrow in the light

Thanks for all the comments guys Mods will begin once the money starts flowing again, hehehe.

It also depends on what type of 18's you put in there. 18's with a machined lip look a lot better than regular rims, especially since wheels with a machined lip tend to look a size smaller than they really are.
