  • Width of Miata Daisies?

    Anyone know the width of a gen1 Miata daisy wheel? I'm guessing 5.5".

      Tominmo, here are a couple pic's of the Daisies I have and really do not know were they fit in the Miata years, but yes they are 5.5



      An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

        Thanks all. I was thinking of getting some 165/65x14 tires, and wanted 14x5.5" wheels to put them on, as 14x6 seems less than ideal.

        @sc72, I think the daisies were from 90-93 or thereabouts; 1st gen Miatas.

          TominMO,

          The Blue BP car has Miata Daisies with 165/65/14's on them, if you remember.
          Rubs the driver side rear wheel well in tight turns, primarily because of the FMS springs.

            Thanks, I wouldn't be using shorter springs tho, so prob no worries.

              Correct, mine just barely touches and without the lowering springs you should be fine.

                Also, I didn't mention that this would go on my Aspire, so no rubbing issues there since it has a different shaped wheel well.
