          Hey Thirdman, I'm liking the idea of 195/45/15's with the 15x6 rims. Plenty of both wheels and tires to choose from. What offset are you running? Are you using spacers? Did you have to roll the fenders at all? I would love to see pics if you have them. Thanks

            i have 14x6 rims with 30mm offset i used the specs from a miata when i bought them. they are to close in the rear. i just mounted the rims to the drums just to see how they would fit, i didnt have tires mounted to them but i dont think they would clare if there where tires. the only option would be to run a spacer. i really dont want to run spacers, i dont like the look of the tire outside of the body line. i have about 500 into these rims so soon or later i will probably just suck it up and buy the spacers. for now im just running vx rims and im going to run a small 5mm spacer for clearance issues

              they'll clear, i'm running 185/60/14 and bearly touch the spring perch on hard, high speed turns. next set of tires will be 185/55/14 to fix that.

                  If' I have the offset figured right I'm thinking the rims will bolt right on with no rubbing. I'm looking 15x6 rims with 38 to 40 offset for 195/45/15 tires. Does this offset sound right to you guys?

                      Sorry to fire up a 2 month old thread but are you running 30mm offset? I am looking at some 14" 4X114.3 with 30mm offset that look SICK and they are at stolen prices (I hope they aren't really stolen ). I saw on one of Monsoon's posts a really nice tire, I think it was like a general something 185/60/14 but I am sure it is avaible in 55.

                      Thanks guys and I will post a gif so Monsoon doesn't have to
