i think the look that some guys on here are getting running 0 offset wheels with small rubber and pulled fenders is breathtaking, it reminds me of alot of vws i used to see( i used to be really into vws)
but what i'm wondering is, how driveable would something like that be? can you drive it agressively (drifting, burnouts, high g forces) without problems? do you ever have to worry about the tire coming off the wheel? can you use it in everyday commuting track days?
i would love to get some sportmax 002's and do the whole routine( lowered, camber, pulled and rolled fenders) but i want to be able to toss my miata around without rubbing or popping a tire off the rim... :shock: cause i have already fallen in love with the way my car handles and i dont wanna lose that.

I'm running the Sportmax 002's with 195/45-15's and KYB AGX/FM springs with minimal rubbing as of yet, and it's my daily driver. I just got a fender roller, but I have yet to use it (hopefully tomorrow). I haven't had a chance to take it to the track yet, but I will in early September. I LOVE the way it feels and handles!

I have stock fenders, no arch rolling, 15x8 on 195 50 15... Car is used on track and no rubbing problems. Its only got a 20mm drop though, and a good wack of camber, but the handling benfited from it, so I'm quite happy with it. Daily use is a joy
