ScottFW said big brakes like these (http://flyinmiata.com/index.php?dept...5%20%201990-93) wont fit on RPF1's, is there any more info on that
I think so. Most cars that come staggered from factory...well there is a theory about that, its an insurance thing for the car manufacturers. An attempt to cause the last bit of fun-killing understeer to save people from smashing their car into a guard rail or tree, you could say. With that said, some race cars/teams run staggered setups, I cannot really answer for that. Maybe a series requirement, maybe something else.

What setup are you running? 7.5 and 8s? If it's something like that with only a half inch difference, I'd honestly run the same tires on all four and call it good, but my laziness is second only to Scott's.

Hmm. If it was a half inch or even a one inch difference, I'd say use it. But I wouldn't use that setup. 205s are the biggest that should be run on the 7s, and 205s shouldn't be ran on the 9s.
Post in the classifieds (when you have enough posts), see if someone wants two used 6uls, if I were in the market for 6uls I'd do it to save a few bucks.

There was talk of rpf1 clearances and just showing how tight they are on other applications....the wider you go the tighter they get on your brake clearances, more than other rims. Although I suppose they only come in 15x7 for the miata, as far as a size to get decent sized brakes in and there are much better rims than 15x7 rpf1's for grip on the miata.
