Don't know why YouTube didn't have ep1 in my sub box! Glad to see ep2!

I have 205/50/15 with 25 offset Advanti Storms on my turbo Miata. I don't seem to have rubbing issues (I don't think).
I want to put 225 or 245s on for autocross but I am pretty reluctant on rolling the fenders as I think I wanna try to keep it looking stock/sleeperish.

i tryed out a 16x7 40 offset with 205-50-16s yesterday. thought it would work, but rubbed the front valance at the bottom. 96 Miata totaly stock. too bad as they were GORGEOUS and only 250 for the SET. UGH!

Just to note, my NB2 have a 16inch stock wheel, I believe the NB1s have the 15inch

have trouble to decide between 15x7 or 15x8... and what offset to combine with which size... at the moment I got 17x7 offset 40 on my NA and they just fit... I don't want to roll the arches, just keep the car stock and clean, it is lowered thow... why not using 195 tires???

[BarelyEpics]

Please do the same thing for s30’s! Love this!

That's good information there buddy. I laughed when you made the "rims" comment. I forgot about the days when guys were all about, check out my rims, bro! haha. Anyways, I surely belong in the boring group 2 crowd. Big obnoxious wheels drive me nuts. This will help me on my 280zx build for the wheel and tire phase. Personally, I like the stock 83 turbo wheels and that's what I want to use, only with slightly bigger tires. Keep up the good work man. Stay safe.

About to run some 15x7 +10mm offset on some Megan racing ez streets wish me luck I don’t rub

[zanedavy]

I run 15x8 +20 with 205x50 R15's and do not have any rubbing issues, no gaurd roll/pull, no adjustment to camber, on lowering springs

When I bought my NB, it came with a set of 7Jx15 ET28 with 205/50 R15 in addition to the installed stock rims... thanks to the video I now know that the wheels would not fit the car.

I now got another set of OEM Enkei NB wheels, reasonable light, durable and above all cheap to buy.

I want to run 14x7 rpf1s on my NA. What offset and tire size should i choose to achieve a bolt on install? I'm also looking to lower the car 1-3 inches. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm having a hard time finding a definitive answer.

What group do people who want to put $40 tires on stock daisies belong in?

[rhodycars]

What about 195/60/14 on a stock NA with stock hollow spike 14x6”?

[Nyxfros]

What about 15x 5.5 38B SSR professor sp1 for a stock 99 Nb? My dumbass still can’t grasp these measurements.
Please help

[benjaminarevalo]

I want to run with the rpf1’s but do they make 4 lug wheels?

[jesse]

In defense of group 3 😁
Wheel: tire + rim
Rim: no tire, just rim

Just a warning. 8 inch 15s Will not fit a Miata with out major suspension and body work.
