MB Motorsport Competitions

heyy guys, im wondering how much it would cost for a set of MB Motorsport Competition 17x9 5x114.3 +27? Any places sell those rims in mississauga or surrounding areas? Let me know if there are any quotes available for these rims. It’s either these rims or 5zigen FN01R-C Hot Version 17x9 +20 5x114.3 :/:

Also, im wondering if having 215/40/R17 on the front and 225/40/R17 on the rear would be good with thos MB Motorsport rims?

Let me know guys, thanks :cool:

Contact Samson (duckJAI) he can probably get them for you. And yes thats size tire’s good.

u can stretch 215 45 17 on 9 . and 225 47 17 on 9. just fine.

^^^ Thanks Sam

NVmySX - Its almost exactly what your looking for; brand new. I’m letting it go for $800, tires & rims. If anything, contact Samson if you want different specs.

Uuuh stretch gay.

I fit 17x9+17 with 255/40/17 front and rear, needed a pull on front and rear, rolled fender in rear as well. I test fitted first with my KYB AGX + stech combo and it fit fine in the front for your information. Rear is never a problem. Not too sure on +20, as it seemed like it had just enough clearance not to rub with +17. Not too sure about other coilovers but mine work fine as well.

I wouldn’t run gay 215s on a 17x9 wheel, but whatever rocks your boat. If being jdm and gay is your thing go ahead. No offense to you homies running stretched tires lol. Complete waste of a larger size wheel and unecessitated extra unsprung weight.

They’re basically an alternative to fns, slightly lighter or same weight i forget, the 17x9+17 weighs 19.8lbs. But at a much lowerp rice and imho slightly better look… but that depends on one’s opinion. They’re also pretty strong and a nice track set of wheels on the cheap. Of course I wish I had rpf1s buut it’s all good :slight_smile:

Go for it. Samson is cool and he hooked me up with my setup.

A 215 should be fitted on a 7.5" rim and a 225 should be fitted on a 7.5" as well… A 245 on a 8.5" 235 on a 8 and so on… no bulging, no stretching, as square as possible for optimum fitment.

Ugh. Can’t believe I’m saying this. But I have to agree with you. Stretching is ghey.

I also run the EXACT same setup. 17x9 +17 255/40/17 all around.

However, My fronts need no pull. My rears need a little roll.
I’m running JIC FLT-A2’s at about 3’’ drop. With OEM spec alignment.

I personally don’t think people should be running things like 215 on a 17x9. It’s just plain dumb in my opinion.

I also find that the 255/40/17 on a 17x9 kinda looks a little too meaty. I prefer the way a 245/40/17 looks. But, I like my grip.

I was on the fence about my sexuality so I opted for 215 on a 17x9 up front. Also, I didn’t like being Pakistani, so natuarally the Japanese thing would be to run 225 in the rear.

so u guys are saying that running 215/40/17 for the front and 225/40/17 on the rear isnt up to par wen it comes to having 17x9 mb motorsport competition rims?

dont listen to them

do what u want

^What he said

You could even do this if you want, whether its right or not its YOUR choice

I also don’t like stretched tires but I guess they look kinda cool.

I was running 17x9 +10 in the front and +5 in the rear with 215/45/R17 at the beginning of the summer and 225/45/R17 at the end. The tires tracked hard and the car was annoying to drive. I put the stock 15s back on and I enjoy driving the car much more. Next season I’m gonna try pulling the fenders and fitting some phatty tires on my shit.

streched tires are ghey and not recommended. I’d put on the widest tire you can fit for the rear.

u have any pics of ur wheel setup of the 17x9 +17 255/40/17 ? Which rims are they? the MB Motorsport Competitions or the 5zigen FN01R-Cs?

i dont mind bulky tires but it depends what im going to use them for … if its for the track or strip or whatever, than ya ill slap on some 255’s no problemo … but for every day driving and the simple stuff, im good with 225’s in the rear plus i like there definition, they look snug around the fender …

here are a few pics that i found of 5zigen FN01R-C 17x8 +35 with 205/40/17 for the front and 17x9 +20 with 235/40/17 for the rear (i personally think the front tires should be 215’s or 225’s):

Why do you think the fronts ‘should’ be 215s and rears 225s lol?

Here’s 255s on 17x9+17. I don’t have better pix. I’ll take some in the spring. Car is back in winter storage until spring.

I will lower the car maybe 1" all around will see. Front is -3.0 camber and rear is -1.5 camber fyi. I’ve driven it for like 3 weeks on regular road, but car is intended for track next year :slight_smile: Still have a few issues to sort out though. Plus winter is here. Before I drop it I need to get some tender springs too. It’s just a work in progress.

u have a very nice setup there! ya i dont want tires that are 255’s because my car wont be intended for track use, just regular everyday driving and i like low profile tires but not too much otherwise the drive will be a pain in the ass when it comes to feeling every bump on the road … i guess it all comes down to personal preference and what use your gonna have for those tires lol … like the 235’s that are in one of the pics i posted above on the rear of the
fn01rc rim, thats perfect enough, i dont like too bulky or too skinny tires, just right in between …

by the way, what kind of rims are those? MB Competitions? again sweet setup!

Thanks man. Yeah they are MB Competitions.

Too be honest I haven’t fully setup the car yet, I did everything last second just before the snow, so I could enjoy it at least a lil, as I didn’t drive the car for six months or so. All things in perspective, the car was a tiny bit ‘loose’ in feel over cracks in the road and whatnot but not so much… it’s more of a get used to it thing. But anyways I won’t be able to really comment on that until everything is properly dialed in. The only thing I can say is, in the rain it’s not very pretty (eg; this morning). There was layers of rain everywhere and it sucked driving in it… but in dry… kick ass.
