another noob question!

[P.O.E.T.]

ok im interested in buying some rims from a local forum.

this is the offsets that i got from another thread that will fit the mp5

215/40/17; 215/35/18
-------------
7.0" +45 and higher
7.5" +48 and higher

205/40/17
-------------
7.0" +42 and higher; Barely making it
7.5" +48 or higher, the +45 still worries me with this width on a 205.



ok my question is:

if 17x8 and 17x9 offset +35

will fit my car. i know probably not but im not a wheel guru but i really like this wheels....the 17x8 i can probably squeeze them in there but im really backing off with the 17x9 on (the rear i guess).... if they dont fit
is there a way that i can make them fit like rolling my fenders or something??

(I THINK THE 35 OFFSET IS WHAT I SHOULD BE WORRY ABOUT THE MOST?)

35 offset = fail

The choice of wheels is somewhat limited on this car, unfortunately.

Sure they'll fit... if you cut out your fenders entirely!

DEAM... just like a thought

Well, for your reference, I'm running 185 width tire on a 6" rim with +41 offset (winter setup). That combo leaves very little room in the back for the tires to travel past the fender.

I'm going to be doing 9.5" width but with a bit of bodywork

That would be sweet. The fatness!

 

[shane02pro5]

Yes sir....traction is good!

 

[P.O.E.T.]

so...im guesing and offset lower than 40 will be bad!! ..on any rims size??

 

[shane02pro5]

Yes! You have the sizes and offsets right in your first post. I have 7.5 50mm offset with about .200" to the coilovers and .200" to the fender.

 

[P.O.E.T.]

would i have any problems with a 17x8+45 in the rear...with a 2" drop...
please let me know......

please someone answer as soon as possible tanks...

 

[shane02pro5]

Yes you will rub!!!!

Maybe 48mm offset with fenders rolled!

 

[P.O.E.T.]

:'( oh man!!.....

tanks for the quick answer... i appreciated for helping me with most of my questions

 

[shane02pro5]

No problem man...wish I had the answers you wanted but it's very tight back there! I've tested the limits!

So, I guess your going to need to sell those rims you have on your car now?
If so, Dibs.

The 16x7 might fit, but probably only with a 195 width tire, unless you roll.
