SSR Competition wheels

Alex,

Are spacers required with the 17x7.5 SSR Competition wheels when installed on an '05 MCS? The reason I ask is reading through some of the threads in this forum I see the S-Lite have an offset of 50 and the SSR Comps have a 42 offset.

Also, can I get these with the Tire Rack Kumho ECSTA MX tires?

TIA

No need for spacers. I use the 16x7.5's in the same 42mm offset.

They fit PERFECT. :smile:

Cool, I just hope they'll clear my KW V2's now. I know the dealer installed spacers on the S-Lites when they installed the KW's.

No spacers required, and I can get Mx in most sizes, 215/45/17 is ideal.

For some of the aftermarket wheels you need to get hub centric rings even though you don't need spacers.

Very true, and when you purchase from me, I include the rings and lugs at no additional charge!

Cool, thanks. Any idea about clearing my KW V2 suspension?

Forgot to mention I have H-Sport springs also.
