black rims on my old P5

What rims are those? Do they come in gunmetal or silver?

that picture looks awesome, even though it is yellow, a burnt orangish like it is now would look badass on that p5!!

Nice wheels guys

 

[pancake75]

FLMassive what kind of wheels do you have on your car?

 

[Patmine]

Great wheels!!!!! I was wondering if anyone has used 225 40 18 tires on there P5? Will fender rolling be all that i need to do to make them fit properly?
Thanks

17X7 Motegi F5 Gunmetal +42mm offset

Had to roll the rear quarter to keep the tires from rubbing. No Prob!

im using 225 40 18s your post says 17s, anyone out there try this before?

 

[mikehavo]

Ive seen some 5's with 18s but it all depends on the offset.

with a 42 offset you'll have to roll the fenders.

lookin sweet. do you think you'd rub with a 215/40?

 

[N2OInferno]

Most likely. I went with Rishie's recipe and it hasn't steered me wrong!

Finally. 18x7.5 Gunmetal Arospeed Crazy 8's. 48 offset, 215/35/18 Nankang NS 2's.

I have some questions about aftermarket wheels...I hope I don't sound too stupid:
1) How do you adjust the offset?
2) What is the biggest tire size you can have w/o rubbing on a lowered P5 (eibach pro-kit or similar setup) I'd like to get a 17" wheel with a tire of decent thickness because there are a lot of potholes around here. How wide of a rim can I get and what tire size should I be looking for?
3) Do you need to adjust your speedometer to account for a different wheel size? If so, how?

 

[N2OInferno]

1.) You don't, wheels are made in a certain offset.

2.) 215/40/17 for width and offset:
7.0" +45 and higher
7.5" +48 and higher
205/40/17 for width and offset:
7.0" +42 and higher
7.5" +48 or higher"

3.) If you use one of these sizes which is so near your stock total diameter, the difference will be negligible. You may be able to recalibrate your speedometer if you really wanted to, but I don't know how to do it.
