Just got these BBS LM's replicas.. specs 17 x 8 +35
now i'm wondering which size tires i should go with.

Im debating between:

205/45's

does anybody have pics of any of those?

gracias!

On a 17" I would run a 215/45 but I also don't like to throw the odo and speedo way off. I wouldn't stray too far from the stock 16" P5 205 tire size.
Are you lowered and are you rolling the fenders? 17x8 +35 is going to be a nice fitment on a Protege.
 
let me know how those tire size fit, mine wheels has the same spec but i've got 235 45 and minor fender roll but i still rub onces in awhile.

I just bought coilovers for the P5 so i will be lowered.. Yeah i assumed those specs would fit pretty well in the car.
I will be rolling my fenders this weekend.. i deff dont want to rub.

are you trying to stance ur protege5? or just wanting some rims?

im trying to stance the P5.. i dont want to go "flush" but rather agresively stanced. Its my DD with maybe some track weekends. (i have an STi that i use for the track/Canyon runs)
 
You will rub on the fenders without rolling them but possibly not if you go with a 205, all depends on how low you go. I know a few MSP guys run the Evo8 Enkeis that are 17x8 and I believe a +38 offset so very similar.

205's seems like the way to go.
there is not a big difference between 40's and 45's right?
 
There is a difference, that's the height of the sidewall and I wouldn't run smaller than a 40 series tire. 45 is stock for the MP3,MSP and I believe the P5 16s are a 50 series tire.
