So yeah just bought these wheels.

Specs: 15x7.5 et-8 and 15x8 et-14 4x100 SSR Formula Mesh

Now I'm wondering how to make these fit, first attempt ever to fit a car with aftermarket wheels (yeah ghey I know).

So that's the car:

I still have the OEM Bilsteins. Now I need to buy some coilovers and drop that bitch. Anything else I need to make the wheels fit flush (roll the fenders most probably??).

Thanks!

those will never work on a miata, just sell them to me.

150$ shipped and they're yours.

Nice wheels! How much did they actually set you back?

 

[4frnt]

2.4k

I actually cried a little. Wheels were shipped today, and the Miata is stored until April, fucking shitty canadian winters...

If those were the wheels that were on IMS, then holy ****, thats a lot of money. Well worth the penny though.

Yep it's them. The sad part is that they really ARE my first aftermarket wheels I bought. My '98 Civic beater sits on OEM 14' wheels and the Miata on the OEM BBS! We do big things.

And just for shits and giggles, I will fit them on the Civic and post pics. Hilarity should ensue.

Fitting that -14 is going to be fun lol

 

[AngelsAndBombs]

Pretty sure I envy you right now.

Fitting that -14 is going to be fun lol

Fuuuuu my Miata buddies told me the same thing. Fender roll and pull needed right?

Pretty sure I envy you right now.

Thanks I can't even believe I pulled the trigger on them wheels.

What's sad about that? To me that sounds great!
You didn't waste any money on crappy knockoffs and tyres, but did it right the first time !

I guess it is a good answer.

a roll for sure on all corners, a minor pull up front depending on tires and a pretty damn decent pull for the rear, depending on tires lol.

Height plays a big roll too, the higher you are, the more they'll poke which means more work.

 

[atlnb]

Pretty sure my pants started acting funny when I saw those.

 

[charlie_91]

This is my old setup. 15x8.5 -8 to -10 ish lol. I pulled my front as much as I could and did a big pull in the rear.
I also spaced out my front fenders just to give me clearance. Like dub said u will need to lower the car a fair bit. Should get like 185/45 all round. And slam

Saw these on Vortex and Ebay. So jelly right now

 

[4frnt]

At least the wheels are in the family!

 

[terry pham]

Depends on what size tires are available to purchase in Canada?

I would do 165/50 on all four corners, that way you don't have to do too much camber to fit them, and you will have to pull the fenders much lesser.
