Should lower the front a tad and the rear a better tad to even the car out.

Yes and yes.

Just a few inspirational Miatas and MSMs giving me ideas for the future.

15x8 +20

This one is a regular miata with MSM body work

Love this car, and the wheels are growing on me

CleanNeon98 · 10-03-2008, 06:11 PM

edit: wtf I just noticed they have 2 valve stems....why?

CleanNeon98 · 10-04-2008, 11:09 AM

I wonder if I can get away running those in a 15x9 (without that kind of exhaust and bumper cut treatment

i like rice · 10-04-2008, 11:12 AM

It's for those who use nitrogen. It allows for a complete purge, hence, 100% nitrogen.

9s may require fender rolling depending on how much camber you run.

Im not worried about rolling the fenders, im more worried about having to run fender flares becuase the wheels will stick out an ungodly ammount. I wont run 9 up front though, itl be a 15x8 there, as long as i can get the right offsets to have the wheels sit equally flush with the body

Kevin · 10-04-2008, 02:04 PM

Unless you swap a LS series chevy motor in there don't worry about how wide the wheels are lol

i like rice · 10-04-2008, 02:49 PM

The NB body can fit 9"/275s in the rear without any modifications if you run neg 2 camber or more.

I think 275 will be a bit much but maybe a 235?? Or will that be too streched on a 9in rim.

i like rice · 10-04-2008, 03:52 PM

If you want 235s, run the 8" width unless you want to go with the stretch look, 215 or 225 on the 9s

CleanNeon98 · 10-04-2008, 04:17 PM

Ill have to see how low these springs get me but its a possibility..if I can have a stretched tire that looks proper tucking under the fender a little but I might do it but i think im going to have to be much lower than the car will be with the springs to pull that off.

i like rice · 10-04-2008, 07:41 PM

You'll have 2-3 fingers gap between the tire and fender after the drop.

disturbedfan121 · 10-04-2008, 10:20 PM

this guy paul runs 245's in the rear on a NA and they don't bump out like crazy. the 15x9 6ul's sit perfect with the fender of an NB with out havening to roll them or anything.

and stretched tires are ghey, dont be cheap, just buy one that fits properly

Yea but I think that a 275 wide tire on a car putting down under 200rwhp is kind of redundant, don't you?

We got the front end done tonight.
Front springs
Front sway
Spark plugs
are all in.

Have to go tomorrow morning to get 2 sockets and a wrench to do the fluids and the rear springs and sway should be easier than the fronts.
