A 9" 6UL measures ~160mm from hub face to inner edge, less 10mm, less ~114mm (4.5"), gets you 36mm. 10" 6UL measures ~162mm from hub face to inner edge, less 10mm, less 127mm (5"), gets you 25mm.

I think you have +10s.

I have some numbers. Pls halp.

@Savington

Measurements taken with wheel sitting "face" down. Due to stancey stretch, measuring from floor is accurate as wheel is contacting floor.

Total height: 280.5mm
Backspace: 164mm
Mounting pads (entire relief, didn't have a great way to just get the lug holes): 15.5mm

What is going on?

Same here. I'm at a total loss, and i'm reasonably sure nobody put a custom 4-6" wider subframe front and rear in the car prior to my ownership.

Stock NB1. It's a 99. Haven't measured camber, but it's got a good bit. It's slammered on Xidas.

I'm betting you got some 10" +10 wheels. A "narrow" Maxxis 245 on an 11" would be like, exposing the bead stretched.

Measurements are above. Does not appear to be +10s. The plot sickens.

Do you have ELBJs, maxed-out camber bolts, adjustable upper arms, and a pinchweld height of ~4" or lower?

Fail. I missed that.

I don't have an unmounted 10 laying around right now, let me go pull one off Bullet...

1) Yes (but obviously no bearing on the rear)
2) Very no
3) Yes (but not all weird and jacked up because of lack of camber bolt necessary to hit -3)
4) 4.25"

Obviously, you have the extremely limited edition wide-track miata that Mazda produced in secret.

Depth of the cutouts in the mounting pad of the wheel. Where it sits on the hub.

How many people find a total width of a little over 11" very strange for a 10" wheel?

So you have the outside of the wheel on the ground, and you're using a tape measure to measure the height of the wheel and the height of the mounting pad, with the end of the tape measure on the ground for both measurements? In that case, these are -23.75's, not +23.75's.

That 164mm is mounting pad to inner edge of wheel.
