Custom rims/ offsets and Tires
 
Anybody got a favorite site for chrome rims with offsets and what's the wides tire anyone has (in the rear) used in a NB car without touching the fenders? I have very little ground clearance and a taller tire would be fine with me. Wide and Tall - Wide and Tall - sounds like a song to me. LOL

check out goodwinracing.com for specific wheel/tire sets that fit best according to diameter. for the NB i believe the largest rim diameter to stay practical is a 18'' and width 8'' or so with an offset between +35mm and +45mm (if respectable to NA which i believe they are).. my favorite site for wheel/tire combos would honestly be on eBay.com Storename: JerrysWheels/Silverwheellady

I run 225/45-15's on 15X8 6UL rims on all 4 corners on mine. I believe the first gen 6UL's I have havea +36mm offset. I have not had to roll or pull anything.

That said, I really want to increase the width of my tires. I'm looking at the AWR widebody kit from Flyin Miata and trying to figure out what type of wheels I'll need to work with it. I don't like spacers but aparently you need a -15mm offset to make it work (increased track by 5 inches/ 2.5 inches perside/ about 50mm per side).
