Not at a 30 offset. I don't think I've seen anyone running a sub 40et on these cars. If you reuse the stock tires or keep that size you're moving everything toward the fender 22mm. The problem just gets worse if you try to upsize tires. What wheels are you looking at? Perhaps we can find something similar that would be more friendly to our cars.

rota p-1, they dont make a 67.1mm bore with a 40+ offset, the 48mm offset had a 76 mm center bore, will that still work?

Maybe they listed it wrong, but I'd ask them. As for the hub bore question, you can always have a bigger hub bore. Some people will say you NEED hubcentric rings to let the wheel match up better with the hub, but I've heard it's just so you can mount the wheels easier. Personally, I don't think they're needed. I'm running my OZ Ultraleggeras with a hub bore of 74 I believe without any hub rings. Make sure the wheel is centered and torque the lugnuts equally. Should be good to go. Good luck.

That's a really small offset.
i am running 38 offset with my stock tire now. I am on stock height though so I wonder if I'll have a problem with running 225 instead of 215. my rim are 18x8

I had a set of P1's on my car before my MS RAYS. 18x8 48et with a 74 hub bore. Just get some hubcentric rings to bring it down to 67.1 and you'll be set.

get the hub rings with the right offset, i think 30 offset will stick out a whole lot, would probably have to get ur fenders pulled out

You should be okay with the 18x8 45 offset. If you drop it too much, you might need to roll the fenders.

Hey Guys, plan to purchase a set of Work Meisters s1 wheels for my rears and i was talking to a local dealer and we were talking about going with a 18 x 8 with a +30 ( 71 mm) offset that's 3/4 of an inch more out and looks like this will not work, i measured this and it stuck out quite a bit. I was thinking of going with 18 x 8.5 with either a +49 (58mm) offset or a +37 (71 mm) offset. Right now i have 18 x 8's with a +48 mm offset and if i go with a wider rim and a +37 offsett that would only be a 9mm difference. Any ideas?

You guys to realize that in order to run such a low off set you need to have camber adjustment in the front and rear, right? And most who go for this look are running coilovers to aid in height adjustment.
18x8 30et will and has fit the MS3.

Are you looking for the pushed-out look specifically or do you just want a P1 and that's the only size available?
I have 18x8+48 w/67.1 hyperblack P1s in Plymouth that I'm entertaining thoughts of selling...
