Re: The moderately slammed thread, not to be confused with show us your dropped miata or slammed thread.
well it wasnt exactly in the best shape when i got it from you either lol, i barely got it home because it was misfiring really bad due to water in the spark plugs and it was leaking oil everywhere because the oil pump was for a fwd car and had a hole for where the dipstick would go when transverse mounted a bolt and some jb weld fixed that. but before i get too off topic heres some slammage

I dig it, just not with blue wheels. White might look cool.

Shakotans come in 15x9 +0 and -15 so I don't imagine big spacers are necessary to fill in flares.

Re: The moderately slammed thread, not to be confused with show us your dropped miata or slammed thread.
So I don't know to ask in the fitment thread or in here. Currently I'm running 195/50/15s (well once the snow is gone) at this ride height. If I go down to a 195/45/15 how much wheel to arch gap would I have compared do you think? I don't want it looking all mexican flush. I just need more turning clearance up front

Technically speaking, you will have around 10mm more arch gap clearance and 10mm lower height. |

I would leave it as is... It looks really good! Perhaps would even make it half an inch higher and it would be fun!

Re: The moderately slammed thread, not to be confused with show us your dropped miata or slammed thread.
You wont notice much with how it all looks together from what I can tell. My rim to fender sits about the same as yours and the tires on your car look like 195/45s to me. Definitely dont look like they are 50's.

Re: The moderately slammed thread, not to be confused with show us your dropped miata or slammed thread.
Maybe this will help with showing the 50 sidewall. They are just used tires off a miata we had in the dealership I took the used wheels off.

Agreed, the wheels were a bit too much. I was saving up for new wheels. Problem solved.
