Have fun with your heavy wheels, shit tires, tiny contact patch and mangled fenders.

jimmyneutron 10-21-2012 02:50 AM

really that bad? bet not as bad as my 17s on it atm

0 offset on an 8 inch wheel requires quite a bit of pulling/rolling. There's plenty of pictures of them on miatas

jimmyneutron 10-21-2012 02:56 AM

i know what they look like just wondering ho much work to make them fit

I know right, don't trust anyone with <5 posts.

All depends on if he is the typical stretching idiot that asks about sportmax. But I tracked on 002s with 225 NT01s just fine. I prefer cheap/disposable wheels.

Expect to flare if you run a real tire... if you are a drifting/street slammed looser... just hammer it out and run stupid stretched stuff to fit.

U guys are harsh....u might want to go to CR.net with this thread o.p.....

jimmyneutron 10-21-2012 07:06 PM

yeah might have to go for some other wheels just really liked the look of them i could get them in 7 inch wide but thats much less dish. still dont think it would be worse than the 17s honestly. cheers for your thoughts though

Ive been having same problem finding wheels...I want something light,but looks good with a lip...Was looking at Konig spools which are 12.5 to 13.1lbs depending on finish...Rota Grid v but the look I want only comes in a 15x8 et0...so Ive decided to order the Real Deal Volk TE37 V 15x8 et 25....only 11lbs... Steplip FOR THE WIN...

Performance does not revolve around asthetics. Worrying about asthetics is not worring about performance. Worrying about how much "dish" a wheel has is like putting premium fuel in a stock NA Miata and thinking it'll make a diffence on Mt. Akina when the Red Suns challenge you.

Bro I needz dat lip doe

Going for looks and performance...Win-Win:2cents:

boost93 you seem to understand where i am coming from. I'm not really interested in full out performance. I want to change what my car looks and handles like as it is because I'm not happy with it.

I have seen tons of miatas running these wheels and i realize there will be lots of work to make it work but its just a genuine question nothing more than that. I don't want my car to scrape and be impractical but i appreciate the look of a low car even if it wont be best for performance.

Doppelgänger 10-23-2012 08:11 AM

If you're willing to "make lots of work" to fitting wheels, why not get some 15x9 or 15x10 6ULs and get functional? Leave the 0-offset shit to the bandwagoneers...unless by doing work you really mean installing flares so you can run a 225 tire on those 0-offset wheels.

No, we have standards.

This is not the forum for you. We are going to ridicule you incessantly, I recommend you go back to Club Roadster because that's more your speed. Believe it or not, "Miatatuirbo.net" is not about stretching wheels or touching men, it's about turbocharging Miatas.
