Wheels are on! I will post pics when I get back from the track. Everything went smooth no rubbing or hitting no where. I can go lowe if I want too but I will have to roll the fenders a little.

Thanks
Cool I asked Rishie from autoRnD for advice and these are the specs he gave me per my requests.
Basically I told him I didnt mind rolling but didnt want to pull. He gave me the best fitment possible . I am running a bit of camber in the rear I am going to raise the car tomorrow once I bring the wheels home then adjust accordingly until I can get back to a safe yet aggresive stance.
We will see, Mannykiller I got the NT05 because of you man..lol
I was going to run azenis but when I told my tire guy I found a cheap place for wheels he beat them.

Sweet brotha! I wasnt sure how low you wanted to run.. But thats awesome!! you'll love them great feedback etc...but don't expect them to last over 4k if your running through the canyons etc..and alignment alignment alignment!!
p.s...a little bit of camber isn't necessarily bad...it can be safe..and actually benifit handling in certain incremints..

Installed the nardi corn 330mm and I used a miata boss kit it's the only one other than works bell that cancels the turn signal and I only paid $20 brand new. The steering wheel stayed in the same position as the own one. Once I install the quick release it will move up a few, I will post* pics when I get home
