    But I love this design so much.
    Like what exactly...

    YOu don't want the wheels to fill the wheel wells nicely? or you don't want to have crazy camber?

    Don't want to have to do anything with the fenders. Not crazy about fender flares and def don't want any rubbing. Just something flush that goes with the classic look.

    I'm gonna measure the gap.

    I think they'll be great. Not too "stance-y".

    Here's a white NA with 16x8 +20mm wheels, lowered ~1".



    Cleaning is ok too, just us a microfibre wash mitt with lots of little fingers.

    What offset are those Stance brand wheels?

    What offset are your current?

    x8 isn't crazy on a miata though.

    This is 15x8

    Looks like I'm going for this one in a 16"


    Totally a different direction, but I'm satisfied with it. It'll look awesome with this thing I ordered & the plans for smoked lights.



    Summer can't get here soon enough!!!!

    for what its worth, "flush" and "not rubbing" don't work well together in the same sentence. what size/offset did you end up with?

    7" offset. I think it'll work well.

    10 = 100% Carlady. Perhaps not the best with terminology...still call screwdrivers by their shapes but doesn't mean I don't know how to work em'. I know what a 10 mil socket does. How to change a tire and I'm waiting on parts at the moment.

    They are 7" wide and I'm guessing I said that wrong. Regardless of offset, this car is going to be badass this summer! Hahaha

    Seriously couldn't be happier with them. The guys at Zracing were great. Excellent service and my baby rides like a dream now. Even better than before.
