Hi
i got the oportunitty of changing my stock mps 6 wheels for black rx-8 wheels, my doubt is mps 6 are 18x7 ,tyres 215/45/18 and RX-8 are 18x8 , tyres 225/45/18.
will it affect in any way my mps by using larger rims and larger tyres ?
thks

RX8 rims are a good fit for the 6MPS. You could get away with the 225/45 tyres but most likely would want to change for 235/40 later. The is a more common size and so better tyre for your $$ and give a nice fitment. The 235/40 also more closely matched the stock 215/45 diameter.
Either way if you have a chance to get the RX8 rims at a good price then go for it. I'm very happy with mine on my 3MPS.
the problem is i saw in a guy in a forum saying that because he put larger rims , his mps 6 started doing strange noises and had to go back to stock wheels
Do not fear, lots of MPS 6's are using RX8 rims and other sizes.
Yeah it should be fine as long as you use the same tyre on every wheel with even wear

From stock, to GT3071, to substantially less modded, many lessons learned!
