Sounds good to me, only bad thing is that they aren't available to middle of march
I went through a set of rears last year pretty quick, bought two new VR-1's to try out this year. |
What width wheels do you need to run to make these fit without stretching the sidewalls? 15x9?

The maxxis 245s were found to fit and perform the best on a 10" wheel. Thought this has found to be the faster setup, it may fit within your definition of a stretched tire. |
Follow the link for a $hit ton of info and pics of 245s on 9" and 10" wheels. You just have to weed through a lot of Miataturbo.com BS.

Maxxis VR-1 245/40/15 - Page 20 - Miata Turbo Forum - Boost cars, acquire cats. This will probably be on an NB btw. EDIT: The stretch on a 10 inch wheel isn't too bad for me. I can deal with that if all Ive got to do is roll the fenders and put a little pull on it. EDIT 2: Ive decided the 15x10s look better. And they seem to only require a flat roll. Unless I find something bigger, Ill probably go with the 15x10 and those tires. I really like them. |
Don't you also need coil overs to clean 15x10s?

Fitment with the 10" wheels depends on many factors.......alignment, wheel offset, shocks and springs, etc. Basically, when you decide to buy 15x10s making them fit is up to you. What works for some NBs may not work for others.
|
Can you run 0* camber and fit the 10s? This'll be mainly a street car so I'd like to keep it close to 0.
|
I doubt that is possible without flares.
