  • What size wheels?

    What offset/size do I need to have no issues, if I want to run a 14 inch wheel? What tires would I need on said wheels?

    Thanks in advance!

      Somewhere in the area of +38 offset, on a 14X6 wheel. 165-45-14 tires should get you close.
      I"m running Miata solid spoke 14" with 185-60-14 tires (mine is Aspire swapped) and they do hit the fenders on the back.
      I have no spacers, rolled fender lips, and custom built coil over springs.

        For no issues, just slap 'em on, maybe a Capri 14" rim. they are 5.5" wide, not 6". I just ordered some General Altimax RT43 175/65x14s for these rims. I'll post here how they fit. Strongly recommend the screw-in studs--Gorilla makes them in several different lengths (thread is 12x1.5), in case you need spacers.

        With my 185/60x14s on 6"-wide AR Estrellas, I need to use 6mm (1/4") spacers. And that's with the higher spring perch of the Aspire Monroe strut.
