Tire size question
#6
Ok do you guys not ever read the previus posts people make this guys wife sees plenty of track time in the car and he is her dedicated mechanic as it where. This being said unless your car is lowered a **** ton or your wheels are a weird *** wide offset then 225 50 r 15 fits on most any miata i have ever seen the apropriate sized 16 should fit as well. I would make sure the wheel is atleast 7 inches to do it though becouse you could run into sealing issues if the rim is to narrow obviusly. On my stockish ride height 1992 and fairly standard offset wheels my 225's have 0 rubbing in the back and only a spot on the inner fender well of each front tire under high laod turns. Wich since then has worn down so isnt even a factor anymore.
Most of the people on this site are afraid to put enough rubber on there car to be able to control the little power they make. i am glad you are thinking on the correct lines GL to ya.

The rims I'm going to use are 16x7 Zigen FNO1-RC's. The car sits an inch lower in the front so i figured the 205's would tuck in nicely plus the slightly narrowed size would make the steering easier for Sue to steer during autoxing. Thanks for covering my back Magnam-5 And yes our car is not street legal and used for racing only. I have a three month plan for our car, this month it's tires (since Sue almost wore the Falkins off last weekend and slid around the course like she was drifting! She still was the fasted girl on the track (there were 4 others) but she is still learning how to harness the 300HP.) I'm also doing a Radiator flush, installing louvers in the hood and bleeding the brake system with Super Blue. (It stays hot in Nevada even in the winter). Next month is new gauges (adding two more) and MOMO removable steering wheel and if the engine holds together till December we're planning on having the bottom half beefed up since we know very little about the history of our car.

As for the 300hp, it's useless if one can't control it properly.

I have been running g-force sports for almost 4 years on the street and like them for that purpose, but they are not a track tire. Decent for the cheap price though, especially on the freeway in the rain.
