15x10 - 15x11 6UL @ 949 Racing
Yep, we did it. 15x11's. Now accepting pre-orders for December or January shipment. Like most of our low volume specialty sizes, we won't make many. A few hundred in total so they'll likely sell out quickly. That means contact your 949 Racing dealer or order directly from our site before they're gone. After this batch, we'll do probably one batch per year.
Why 11's?
Because the same rule for maximum tire performance applies to 275/35/15's; Wheel should be at least as wide as tread, which in the case of the 275/35 Hoosier is 10.5". The 275 still works on the 10 but will generate more grip, wear more evenly and steer more precisely on the 11.
If I don't answer your question here it's because the answer is on the website (click the picture).
Fitment notes: They don't fit anything. Seriously though, don't ask me what you will need on your car with your alignment, your shock mounts, your ride height, your alignment, etc. Expect some trimming, hammering, rolling, cussing. 15x10 with 245 RC-1 on the NB can be accomplished with just a flat roll F&R and 2.25" springs. That's the only combo that is sorta PnP-ish. Every other possible combination requires cutting something.
Brake clearance: Up to 11.75" (298mm) with any caliper
15x10 are optimized for the 245/40/15 Hoosier Maxxis RC-1 on the NA/NB Miata.
15x11 is optimized for the 275/35 Hoosier. Since both the 15x10 and 15x11 requires either flares or major fender manipulation, don't waste your time with 15x10's if you plan to run 275's.
Available in Charcoal and Tungsten only. ~13.6 lbs for the 15x10, ~14.3 lbs for the 15x11

Emilio, for the 15x10, what's your prediction on availability of tires in that 245/40-15 size a few years down the road? I know you may not know what's coming out, but do you see tires in that size sticking around or no? I love my 9s, but if in 5-10 years I can still get good 245/40 tires, maybe the 10s are a good investment.
I have a 245/40-15x9 Maxxis RC-1 setup and I know the 10 is more ideal, but if I ever have to revert to a 225 due to lack of availability of 245 tires, the 10 will be too big IMO. I'm not interested in running soft compound Hoosiers, the Maxxis gives me great levels of grip as is.

For some reason I remember seeing or hearing that Maxxis worked with you or vise versa on putting out the 245/40-15 size. Maybe wrong. Just would stink to get stuck in a rut with a 15x10 if the only tires I could get would be a too narrow 225 or a too expensive 275.
I'll try to give Maxxis a call later today, doubt I'll get anything though. I'll just have to keep convincing people to go with a 245 tire so I can keep the demand up enough to get my own

In many cases with extreem fitments like this 1/8" or less is the differance between acceptable amounts of tire rub and unacceptable amounts.
