K i posted this awhile ago. I got some links but couldnt find what i was looking for. Heres my situation. I installed coilovers and put new rims on my car. When i put the coilovers in and put the rims on i noticed my tire was really close to my coilover almost touching. Then i noticed my tires are only 205 45 not 215. So i have come to the conclusion i need spacers to push my wheels out. So if anyone could link me to a site in which i can buy 5mm or 10mm spacers for a 2003 msp i would apprecaite it very much. Thanks guys.

205s mean the width of the tire is 205mm, if you add another 10mm to it, then youre going to be that much closer to rubbing.
What kind of wheels do you have, and what is the offset.. The correct MSP offset is +55.

yea, i know, im saying that 215s are wider tires. Nothing to do with the offset, which is all in the wheel itself.
I think i read before that MP3 wheels are +40 or +45 offset, in which case you might need wheelspacers.

He does want 215s & I think you mean Delsing Motorsport (aka Micaspeed! on here). Dave posted a thread about them here: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63081
I'm using MP3 Racing Harts on my MP5 with 5mm H&R spacers all around running 215/40/17's with no problems. I believe the MP3 Racing Harts have a really high offset; if I remember correctly it's 50-55.
