Thread: advice on 17inch wheels for mps6

  1. #1

    Default advice on 17inch wheels for mps6

    looking at replacing my standard mps rims with a set of 17's. I'm looking for 5 spoke star style (but not skinny tciii star, more like wolf s1p or fatter spokes). Anyone had experience fitting 17's and what pros and cons are there to running on smaller wheels. I understand I'll need higher aspect tyres, 50 - 55, but should I be looking for the same offset and width, and if you have any style recommendations plus, any advice is appreciated
    Thanks.

    What color is your car?
    And rpf1's should be rim of choice 17x8 or 17x8.5
    Tires are cheaper and ride nicer...
    245/50/17 is the same as stock (from memory)

    Thanks buddy, Car is red, looking at black for the rim colour...RPF1's do look the goods, i agree, and are definately on the possibility list if 5 spokes can't be found.
    So, 17x8/8.5 would require what offset? 35 or 40? (Just guessing there...offsets confuse me)

    Depends what you want.. smaller rims = lighter, cheaper tyres, nicer ride.
    cons = usually looks shit unless the car is dumped on the rims, especially rpf1 design the rims look tiny (my opinion). cant see any other real cons
