can anybody show me a pix of an NA with 15 offset wheels..

 

[iamiata]

15 offset could be very conservative if the wheel is really skinny... say a 13x4.5.

4.5/2 = 2.25
2.25*25.4= 57.15
57.15 - 15 = 42.15, meaning the lip will only be 42.15 mm from the hub, or 1.7"

meaning a 16x7 +35 wheel will actuall be more flush

7/2 = 3.5
3.5*25.4= 88.9
88.9 - 38 = 50.9 or 50.9 mm from the hub

and yes, my winter wheels are 13x4.5, from an early 80's rabbit


What I'm trying to say is that you should say "can anybody show me a pix of an NA with 15x8 15 offset wheels" or something to that effect

opps forgot to mention..it's 15x7 ..but i just wana know how it looks on a miata before i buy my rims. thanks why buddy

 

[Dicker]

15x7 + 15 would actually look pretty good on a miata.

 

[jdmeg2]

mine are 15x8 +15.

im getting 15x8 +0 cuz there not baller/flush enough

 

[slydin miata 619]

jdmeg: i thought u had 0 offset

jdmeg: i thought u had 0 offset

I did too until he told me it was 15 today. Dead serious, I really thought they were 0 for the longest time :? :lol:

 

[Dicker]

so are you going to sell those jdmeg2?

 

[XCLR8TN]

^ i dont think so....

 

[Phatmiata]

mine are 15x8 +15.

What Brand/Size Tires are you running for the 15x8 ??? 205/50-15 or something else?

 

[XCLR8TN]

^ Toyo's in a 195/?/15. That's all I can help, as I was wondering what aspect ratio last night actually. (I'm pretty sure they're 195 cuz I was like :shock: when he told me that. 195s came on my stock 6" rims for my peon!)

Keep in mind that the wheel design will have a dramatic effect on the overall appearance of any 15x7 ET15. Here is a RS Watanabe Mg F8 in 15x7 ET15

 

[slydin miata 619]

wow that looks pretty good..

 

[Phatmiata]

Yeah, im asking cause i still need tyres for the pannanies, with stagger, 15x7 frt and 15x8 rr
