MS-01-S Wheels

Doc-1 · 10-10-2010, 07:44 PM

Well the big day happen. I got my MS-01-S wheels and MS springs that go with them. They are 8.5 and 9.5 and 18's Gold with a polished lip. Got the center caps as well, used of course from Japan. Question.......what tires will work on stock suspension? Pictures up when I get them cleaned.

Thanks
Doc

Congrats Doc!! Can't wait to see the car with those wheels!

Doc-1 · 10-10-2010, 10:41 PM

what size tires gentlemen what size tires

RotorDad · 10-10-2010, 11:23 PM

245/40-18 in the front & a 275/35-18 in the rear should work out fine. BTW I love those wheels.

***Herblenny*** · 10-11-2010, 08:57 AM

Doc,

This is what I would consider on 8.5 front and 9.5 rear

Front: 235/40 or 245/40
Rear: 265/35 or 275/35

Personally, I would go with 235/40 front and 265/35 rear. This will give you very close sidewall height and more of an ideal width tires.

If you want to push it, then you could go with 255/35 front and 285/30 rear. Those two size will be min. wheel width for those tires.

255/35 all the way around

If true, and I think it is, what tires would you recommend?

Doc-1 · 10-11-2010, 12:02 PM

Phil I like your tire size recommendations....give the greatest selection. Whom do you like for the tire? I have driven the stars and they were nice but am not attached to them

Prodigy · 10-11-2010, 12:17 PM

i've tried various tires...

right now for my mb, I have michelin ps2 (255/35F and 295/30R). not the best gripping tires, but they are good in the rain and quiet. But I'll be getting ADVAN Neova AD08 (255/35 and 295/40 on 10inch wheels). I've also ran RE01s and I like the quite a bit.

Nice wheels, congrats.

Charlie Redden · 10-15-2010, 08:51 PM

Nice pick up with those wheels. I take it you had them refinished? I have seen a few sets come up for sale over here, but they usually are accompanied by some sort of road rash...

Looking forward to seeing them on the car.
