I am planning on getting the Motegi MR7's and was wondering what offset I need. I will be putting in the Eibach pro kit springs with the rims. I have seen at least one member with the MR7's and was wondering what specs they had for offset and any other info that I need to know before i buy. I called my mazda dealer and they had no clue what offset or any other spec info I should have before i bought, any info would be appreciated.

I believe you need a + 45 or greater but I don't think Motegi makes the 17 MR7s in this. I know the 16 can be done, even with stock tires. What size are you looking at?

I don't think it'll work unless you get some pretty small rubber band style tires or machine out the center. Maybe try looking at different wheels or no springs.

Wont work on 17s especially if your dropping it. You need at least a 45+ 48 would be best for 17s. There are only a few brands that make wheels with this high offset so be very sure that they will fit. Otherwise you will be wasting your money. and changing your tires every year.

Motegis do not have the right offset. If your set on getting them, you can machine the rims.
