Question Rishie will these 18" wheels fit my P5?

Hello,

I have decided to go for some Motegi MR7's in Silver for my P5. The few places I went to said that 18's would fit the car fine with no rubbing. I just wanted to know your thoughts and if they are correct or if I will have to do some modications the the car. Also after 18's are installed if I wanted to lower my car how much could I drop it, or is it even worth it?
Thanks Alot!

*sigh* There's a sticky topic on this particular forum called 'RISHIE'S FITMENT RECIPE'.

This will tell you everything you need to know about fitment.
That section is there to cut down on flooding the Wheels/Tires section with threads such as this.

Coming in at 27.5lbs a wheel, lol and being 18,7.5 +45 offset. These will not work without some good fender modifications. Even with the thinnest and lowest 215/35/18.

Sorry bro,

rishie

this is what y'all should do, Call Motegi or whatever wheel you are interested in. Find out the offset and width of the wheel. Then compare that to my recipe. Then you will have a quick easy answer. Following that shoot me a PM and I'll see where your best deal will be if not with us.

Please understand the number of questions identical to this that we get. Please don't think we are being rude. We're truly here to help, but in an efficient manner.

rjakobs and Kincaid you've always been great. Thanks for picking up my slack cause I got thoroughly burnt out of trying to be a good samaritan. lol.

No problem

I'd buy my new ADR Sukudo 10's from you but I think that it won't be worth it from US to Canada
