18X7 5-114 and offset is 55 (I think). I'm not a big fan of them either. I wish tirerack would hurry up and list available wheels for the car. If someone knows another place that can guarantee fitment on the MS6 please let us know where.eE jeremy said:I don't take delivery for a couple months, but maybe you guys can help me out. What size wheels are stock 18" x 7"?, what is the lug pattern 5 x ?mm, and last, what is the offset? I'm not diggin the stock wheels...

Rumpleforeskin said:I'd much rather size down to a 17" wheel that is 6.5" wide and real lightweight. No need to worry with real wide tires when you've got such a strong awd system
StuttersC said:You don't want to go skinnier than stock. That is useless.
You can run a 17x7 or even a 17x8 that is light enough. On a 17x8 you would be able to run different sized tires to get the stagered fitment effect that is mentioned above and still maintain your basic rotational diameter.
Rainman said:So you could also run 18x8 in the front and 18.7 in the rear for the same effect, correct?

nicka said:The service manager at my dealership says that there was a guy who tried to put 17" on his MSP6, but his wheels actually seized up because some slush/ice/snow got up within the wheel and there was no room for the brake calipers. Anyone hear of this happening to anyone else? Can anyone say for 100% if it is possible to put 17s on that car?
Rainman said:I am currently running high-offset 17" steelies with my winter tires. Originally, the tire guy thought there might be a problem, but they did a test fit and it was OK. I have driven the car through all sorts of crap with our crazy weather lately and I have nad NO problems. Other than the usual rusting rotors when the rotors are wet (I experience this problem on both the MSP and MS6) I have no issues at all with the wheels. I was actually considering putting 17" on the car in the summer since I am not a fan of the stock rims.

nicka said:Thanks, Rainman. How much of an offset are we talkin here?
