They are 7. The wheels posted that already have 10 offset are 8. It will be a little different but still real good I hope. Just hope it doesn't rub.

OWENthatsmyname · 03-29-2010, 10:51 PM

well, you wont get much, if any, stretch from those 205's you ordered. (if you were expecting some haha)

and if the wheels on that NA miata are 16x8 et 10, your RKs after spacers wont sit out as far.

sunken battleship status woooo

Maybe yes maybe no, but you shouldn't worry yourself about it so much. I'm asking about spacers, let's try to stick to that and not stray off topic...I know, it's hard.

blkZ06 · 03-30-2010, 09:18 AM

ah the topic being let's make the car look a certian way but avoid making it actually function correctly... got it

look boss you don't like me and I damn sure don't think highly of you but warm weather is on it's way that's a car that needs to have it's **** together to do what's it's suppose to do just fix the damn thing

cmr076 · 03-30-2010, 09:41 AM

your going for the stretched/slammed look why not get a set of wheels that will make that easier for you? your running BBS wheels off of a FWD mini and trying to make them look like sportmax wheels... i have a set of sportmaxs' with stretched rubber you can try on if you want to do this the easy way...

I got nothing against you, and I don't really care what you think of me, but the car is in the process of being fixed, everything has to be physically taken off and checked, it takes time, I didn't do it because the car wasn't in catastrophical condition over winter and I really didn't want to wrench on it being 30* outside.

I get pissed cause people don't ask because they genuinely care, they ask so they have something to talk about and try to make fun of...don't really care, so LOL away.

If they are 0 offset, I don't wanna touch it, too much work IMO to make it work, plus I still DD the car, and I do still throw it into some corners, I can't get away with having a somewhat fun car to drive having super flush fitment I don't think. Spacers will probbably be 15mm, just hope they can eat up my entire studs, gotta take off a wheel and do some measuring.

205 45 16 on a 16x7 is hardly a stretch.

actually, it's pretty soft. does your car run properly? if not, stop wasting money adding crap to it and throw that money towards having someone competent fix it

cmr076 · 03-30-2010, 09:57 AM

your not doing longer studs w/ 20mm spacers?!? and yes mine are zero offset... you wanna play like a big boy gotta go zero or below with the offset!

::edit:: 15mm, either way, not doing studs is retarded and dangerous

I'm getting the bolt-on spacer adapters, same 4x100 pattern, just a 15mm spacer in there...problem is I don't remember if my BBS have holes in the rear between the spokes, so if the spacer doesn't cover up my entire existing stud, I'm gonna have issues in the way of the wheels not bolting on.

CleanNeon98 · 03-30-2010, 05:44 PM

Just found an old pic and yes I do have the cutouts. Payday Friday, ordering spacers and tires Saturday, may try rolling fenders on Sunday.

OutToWinPAHC · 03-30-2010, 05:48 PM

They are 100% hubcentric with the proper bore?

The spacers are made for 89-05 Miatas, all of which had 4x100 pattern, with a 54.1mm centerbore, all of which the spacers have. Additionally, they have a hubcentric lip on them so I can still run the hubcentric spacer for my wheels (71mm bore i beliebe).

This is what I'm after

Before:

After:

Would look DOPE with a tire that wide

blackvr4 · 03-30-2010, 07:47 PM

Car looks good, moy braht!

CleanNeon98 · 03-31-2010, 02:18 PM

Just test-fit some wheels, if I can get my BBS sold in a timely manner I'm gonna make a move on them, it just looks too good to pass up for only a few extra bucks.

CleanNeon98 · 03-31-2010, 10:36 PM

This shot was done using a 205 45 tire, we're gonna run a 205 40. Can't go lower, won't be even height cause I'm maxed at the rear. Rear will require a bit of a pull. SHOULD be done by Sonic

Just a preview, and yes this is actually my car.

JST2KWIK · 04-01-2010, 12:06 AM

DPancoast · 04-01-2010, 01:23 AM
