    Default 19's and you - Wheel fitment to MPS6 question

    Ok guys, so I am selling some 19" wheels and I have been asked if they will fit an MPS 6 without guard rolling. I have done a search but couldn't find the answer. The specs of the wheels are 19"x8", +45 offset and a PCD of 5x114.3. The tyres are 225/35/19 and they originally came off an MPS3. They guy thats interested in them didn't say whether it was lowered or not so at this stage I will assume it is stock height.

    So does anyone run this combo and did you have to get the guards rolled?

    Thanks in advance.

    Roll the gaurds a certainty with 235/35R19 and a near certainty with 225/35R19...Some 225/45R18 can rub on a 3 at +48 offset. Your sidewall is another 3mm outward @ +45 and squarer due to 35 profile and 19". VERY firm expectation that you will need to roll your gaurds if it was a 3. you might have just a bit more room on a 6, but I'd expect much the same.

    So not 100% sure yet? But looks likely?

    What are the specs of the 6 MPS? 18"x7.5"? What offset are they, +50ish? What size tyres do they run?

    Hopefully there is someone on here with this combo.

    Ok guys the car is stock height. I asked if he could check the offset for me.

    Do they have a space saver or full size spare? So he can check the offset.

    If that is the case, a 225/35/19 actually has a smaller diameter than the stock tyre.

    Ok he says they have an offset of +45. Can anyone confirm this for me.

    If this is the case then my rims should fit his car no problems shouldn't they?

    Hey mate,

    all I can tell you is that they didnt scrub on my lowered 3. No rolling of guards on my car either

    Cool, thanks Aaron. I can't see them being a problem if the offset of a 6 MPS rim is infact +45.

    So hopefully someone can confirm the stock offset for me before I say they will fit with no problems.

    52ish?

    I told him it would be stamped on the back on the rim and he said it was +45?

    stock mps6 rim offset is definately not 45, maybe somone else with an MPS6 can back me up on this

    even the stock mps3 rims is not 45, they are they same roughly as each other
