RE-11. Not the "A"

Please help me welcome my Speed back to the world of grip!

Awwww yeaaaaaa. Nice looking treads!

Hot off the press with some of the sticker still left behind

It takes a little getting used to the insane level of grip! I have to remind myself that the winters are off and I can now drive. Makes me want to hit up HPR bad.

Saul you might be able to help me out with this too. I want to get a set of 17" wheels and tires for track use. I'm just not sure what size wheel (17x?) or what size tire for said wheels. Just knowing that standard 3 wheels fit the ms3 and using the old tire rack it says the OE recommendation is 205/50-17. Can I go wider than 205? Any recommendations?

I recall my stock mz3 wheels being 17x7. Lowered on eibachs, I don't think I was even close to rubbing. I'm pretty sure you could run some 225 on there. That may actually be what I had. I forget the aspect ratio.

I ran 225s on my 3 with the Eibachs. Plenty 'o room.

Columbiana, Assuming your stock wheels are 17x7, 215/45/17 should be a good size that maximizes your 7in width.

If the offset is right, i think you can get a 17x8 or 17x8.5 wheel and squeeze 245/40/17 on. I'd triple check with the MS3 forums to be sure tho. If not, then 17x8 with 225/40/17.

Just be sure to get the proper offset.
