Hey I want to know what the largest tire size (overall diameter) can be used with the tuckin 99 large flare kit (like kickinoutyo's car). i am planning on running 255/30-19 tires on the rear (o.d.= 25.1") I previously had 215/35-18 (o.d.=23.9") with no rub or scrub with out the flares. I am worried that tghe tire will rub on the front side of the rear wheel opening and if it doesn't rub, i'm worried it will look wierd (pushed too far forward in wheel well opening) before you guys start hating the wheel/ tire combo, lemme tell you that I work for a custom car shop and have access to custom built forged 3 piece wheels with a sick deep lip (6" deep) but only in 19" size. But since the wheels will be free and I can have them cut in any style I want, I can't pass up the chance for a custom built set of 18x8.5 front and 19x9.5-10 in the rear with a 6" deep lip. I will also have a set of 15x8 and 16x8 sportmax rims to play with, so don't worry. i just want to see what you other guys are runnig under your flares and see how the overall diameter of your rolling stock looks under the flares.
255/30-19 with tuckin 99 large flare? will it fit? how big u running?

is you fa ralz dawg?
Dude I run 18 x 10.5's in the rear of my widebody NB. 18 x 8's up front. The size on the rear is about how wide you can go, without some type of serious body mods that I don't know about. My orginal fenders are trimmed up to the unibody. But yes the 18 x 10.5's fit just fine. =D>

What do you guys think of this wheel in a 4 spoke variation? Machined face painted detail, floating center caps in 18x8.5 and 19x10 with a 6" deep dish on the rear wheel. I think it will look like a modern version of some of our favorite old skool wheels.

I already have the tuckin flares and would like to show off some of our capabilities when it comes to wheels. I was thinking if you took that wheel made the spokes slightly narrower and made four spokes instead of 4 it would look like a modern spin on the old work equip wheels. So not feeling the look huh?

The style really depends on the owner, however i would say the 90% of the owners of Miatas are more interested in a lightweight wheel vs a heavy or large 18 or 19 inch wheel, as you would need a V8, 13B, or other high-HP motor swap or just lots of boost to overcome all that extra weight you add with big wheels. Big Heavy Chrome is out, Small and Lightweight is IN. :wink:

Like I said these will only be for blingin out. i got my lightweights for real driving. Even though they are big, the wheels are forged with true forged outer barrels, not like some so called forged wheels that only offer forged centers, with either spun or cast outer barrels. So they should be fairly lightweight for a wheel that big. And hopefully the future includes an LS1 conversion to help spin em. I get the whole lightweigh thing but I just am not a fan of the dimunitive size wheels on the miata. I like my wheels a little bigger in diameter but still very lightweight. Have you guys seen the new AC Schnitzer one piece forged wheels for the new M5 and M6? Those things are bad ass and superlightweight too.
