I want my new wheels to be even with the fenders and have a lip as well. thanks for the response and pics. GL with the sale, those wheels are sweet and look awesome on that Miata.

with proper suspension, you can tuck it in. even then, a little 'stick out' actually makes the car look very aggressive. puny offsets make the car look, well, puny.

stock miatas have +45mm offset and can accomodate 0 offset wheels while FB's have somewhere around +27 i believe. with this in mind the FB can accomodate low offset wheels better than the miata can.

Thanks for all the info...
Leatherface24 lives by me and just purchased a set. He will let me try them on my car to see how they look and fit.

I have a set of 15"x7" watanbe's that I want to sell. I was going to run them with some high side wall tires for my DD but decieded that I should get a different style as I already run 16" watanabe's. They need to be refinished though, so I'll let them go for $500.

Edit... Opps, didn't see your last post.
