Question about Rims?

Post by Jarod »

What size of rims can fit on the mx-3 comfortably? If i'm not mistaken, they have 14" right? Can you people tell me what you have for size and if you like the look of a bigger rim on the car. I want to get 16" Momo rims.<P>Also, i want to know if anyone installed a custom turbo on their RS DOHC and if they noticed extreme gains in HP?<P>Thnks everyone.<P>Jarod<BR>94 MX-3 DOHC<BR>mods: centreforce dual friction clutch (so far)

16's will fit comfortably, 17's will work with the right offset.<P>As for your question about turbos, the general concensus on the board is to swap in a b6t or bpt engine instead of customizing a turbo for your DOHC. Use the search function, keywords: b6t, bpt. You can even use the FAQ information provided.
