Mp3 rims on a p5 more ???'s

Anyone know the offset of a mp3 RH 17" rims
I'm afraid it might rub on my mp5, cause it's lowered.


thanks

Stock MP3 Racing Harts are 17x7 with an offset of +55. You won't rub.

another question guys...
with the mp3 rims, what would be the best fitment without any rubbing on a p5 lowered w/ eibach pro kit.
205/40/17 or 215/40/17; that would be a close match the the OEM size correct?

would some brands of tires make my car rub? Thinking of going with either Dunlop FM's or Kuhmo 712's.

thanks!

the 205's will work for sure...that is what came on the MP3....and you would need to ask Richie at R&D about the 215's......and yes.....some tires are different from one maker to another.

big bucks on mp3 rims

Hmmm....I was just wondering the same, I want the Mp3 rims, until now that I know how much $$$ they cost.

$465 each + 45 covers

so its like $2040

add more or less $400 for the TIRES

I was told Millenia rims would fit the P5 too.
