miata wheels

Post by 962porsche » Wed Mar 27, 2013 9:13 am

i need to know ?
what is the proper off set for the 15x7 miata wheels ?
what is the back spacing ?
will a 15X8" wheel fit on a miata with out have to roll the wheel openings ?

i sold off the 15X6.5 BBS wheels for this car because i don't want to spend the time to keep them clean .
so bassett wheels will sell me a set of there wheels at cost 25 each wheel but they only go by the back spacing to size the wheels .

so all the miata wheel info i can get would be great !
thanks

You can fit 8" wheels without rolling the fenders (I run15 x 8 +35 without issue). You can run a 225 on 9" if you roll the fenders.

These guys specialize in Miatas and do up to 10" (15 x 8" is +36mm offset).

Might want to give them a call for an accurate backspace #
