    I've seen 15x7" on Motoxpress's ride. Fills the fenders in extremely well, but I think that you'd need to love on the fenders a little with a BFH. He said he didn't use spacers on his setup. My question is, why go so large a wheel with the stock brake setup? If you can't find an Aspire swap, I've heard that just an R&R on the Aspire BMC helps quite a bit. All in all, those rims are a close match to the stock Mazda Miata wheels, and that's a classic choice, so I'd say the beefier rims would look awesome. Tires? Toyo Proxes T1-R's. http://www.treadepot.com/group/prt1r.html

      thanks still what tire size and wheel offset and i didnt really want to change the brakes not yet maybe when i get a bigger motor and the cars fenders are already beat out cause its slammed on the 12"s on some homemade coils but when i do get these wheels i will raise the car a bit and buy a stiffer spring way to soft its setting on the bumbstops

        If I were you I'd search for whats been asked countless times already, or get the least backspacing possible and make the fenders your bumpstop.
