#miata #fitment - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Excellent basic understanding of fitment. Well done Alex. I have a red 2002 Miata LS. I purchased white CP23 Circuit Performance wheels. 16X7, +35. Tires are 205/45/16. Great fitment to keep it near stock. They were only 1 lb. more then my stock wheels that will get refurbished and stored.
Thanks, your video help me to choose the best configuration on my miata! Regards from Mexico City!
just recently got a 90 miata and your videos have helped so much
Love to hear it, congrats on the car!
Thanks. Well explained in simple to understand way.
Glad this could help!
Thank you so much man i'm gone go for the 15x8 +20
Awesome video and great recommendations! I just posted my first miata video. Im looking forward to doing wheels and tires in the future.
Thanks! Good luck with the videos!
As someone who rode on coilovers for years. Going back to stock suspension on my miata felt sooo much better for daily use with KYB struts. Still gonna stick to 15x8 wheels tho lol
Love your videos and finally got myself a Miata, '96 M-edition in great condition.
Been watching for a while, enjoy you videos. I would have thought 15x7 with a +25 to 40 offset would have been most popular well size. I’m running a 14x7 +20 wheel. I wanted to be different.
15x7 is pretty popular too, im biased towards wider wheels though haha. Probably should have mentioned it. Nice! I'm a fan of tiny wheels on Miatas too.
@@AlexPerrucci tiny! Lol right sized I say. From the beginning of my build I had decided I was gonna make more of a GT then some sort of track car. I have the Flyin Miata koni kit with their rear mounts. With the 195/60 tire it makes for a really good riding car.
Finally someone who can explain wheel fitment without dragging the topic to an extreme extent
Thanks for this!
Of course!
great video partner
Car looks so good! Love the wheels one it. I see a GA tag, any chance you’re around the north Fulton area? Looking for some other Miata friends. My 93 is lonely lol
im thinking about going real weird with my setup. im either doing 15x10s all around, or 16x10 rear, 15x10 front, or 15x10 rear, 15x9 front.
Perfect
Good job as usual. I am happy to see I did not screw up on my wheel choice. Just got and am installing my TEIN Flex Z coilovers + waiting for my Advanti Storm 15X8 + 25 wheels.
Now I have to decide on tires... I only want to cruise around (a little aggressive some times .... you know what I mean ;-) ) and go to car meets. (This is not my daily and I do like 4-5K summer only miles a year) I do not want to roll my fenders AND I want the best 'comfort' for this size. I don't need to slam it down but I want it low for sure... a bit higher than yours... Roads are rough up hear in Canada. I am debating a 205/50 or a 205/45?!?! I like the Toyo Proxes R1R but I am no expert. What would be your suggestion?
Keep up the great work... love your stuff.
Thank you!
16" tire sizes are weird haha. Heard good things about the R1R. I'm a big fan of the new Falken RT660. Looks like theres a decent selection in both of those sizes. the 205/50 will probably be slightly more comfortable.
@@AlexPerrucci I will be on 15's though... so 205/50R15 is your suggestion then? I like the Falkens also (edited... should have wrote 205 instead of 225)
@@paulbarrette2557 I have the advanti storms same specs and run 205/50/15 doesn’t rub if you run the 225 you’ll have to roll your fenders.
@@ruffus4924 Sorry I meant to write 205... not 225
with the 15x8 +25 did you have to roll your fenders? I've heard varying things on whether or not you have to and really want to go with those specs but don't wanna roll my fenders
I emedietely became happier when I clicked this video
When I was picking out wheels, Discount Tire wouldn't "stretch" a 205/50R15 onto 15x8, so I went with 15x7.
That’s not even a stretch? That’s really no different than putting a 195 on a 7” wheel.
Yeah its hardly a stretch but big name tire shops will often give you a hard time about it.
What front fenders are those? Clean build!
Thanks! Stock fenders, cut.
great explanation!!! 6:32 I really like these wheels, what wheels are these? konig freeforms?
Thanks! Pretty sure they're Jongbloed Racing wheels.
@@AlexPerrucci ahh okay
Any advice for getting back wheel on an NB to sit centered in the fender? Notice they sit towards the front on some cars
I've noticed this too! Has to be a caster issue I would think. Maybe have the alignment checked, there might be bent suspension components in the rear.
question please... if a 205/50 is ideal for a 15" wheel, then what would be the equivalent "ideal tire size" on a 16" wheel? ...i have a 99 miata on 16's & its a daily, & just running all-seasons, but id like to fit as wide of a tire as i can, within reason...? thanx
You could do a 205/50 or 205/45.
hey alex i got godspeed coils and don’t have enough low, do i need to go BC for my best bet?
don't know much about godspeed. you can never go wrong with BC though, and they have extreme low options!
What kit do you have for the body parts, specifically the back
GV finish panel, autokonexion duckbill trunk.
the wheels on your miata, are they the Work Emotion CR ULTIMATE wheels? thanks in advance
They're the CR Kiwami!
Hoping i can get some help. I just bought a stock NB miata. Im looking at the konig hypergrams. I would love to run the 15x8.5 +25 on a 225/45. I want to know if im going to have issues at stock hight, debating about a modest 0.5” drop one day. Im not too thrilled about rolling fenders, i can live not going full lock. Main concern is tire to body contact. If theres major issues i think id just go with the 15x8+35 with 205/50. Any info would be amazing.
You'd probably be fine for the most part with stock suspension, it might rub some on heavy bumps. If you want to be safe you can definitely go with the +35.
I appreciate the info. I was mistaken. I was planning on rolling the fenders but not into pulling. That should help with minimizing body contact. I think i might risk it.
@@mav3rick_gaming Oh yeah, you should be fine.
thanks for this! do you think 16x8 +25 would be too big for an NA miata?
Nope, you can run that easy!
@@AlexPerrucci Thank you for the help! I'm debating between 15x7 +35 or the 16x8 +25 but I also like the bigger tires look, so good to know the 16s will work too. New to all this so this is very helpful!
I want 15x8 kogeki wheels, they are 15x8 with a 36+ offset my miats isn't lowered or anything it has stock coils and I was wondering if they would fit my 2000 nb miata?
Shouldn't have an issue.
Will a 205/50r17 fit on my 92 Miata? Found some rtx rims with wheels set for sale
Might have to do some trimming etc but people have put 17’s on them before.
Is it different for the nb?
Because i have 15x7,5 +26 and they look more like the 15x9,5 from the video.
Is it because im not low enough?
Im about 35mm lowered.
The wheels are too wide to be legal in germany but they should fit on paper. I have no spacers installed
Yes, definitely a little different on NB. These same specs should be slightly more aggressive on the NB.
I have a question, i have stock suspension and i recently bought 15x8.5 rims, would i be able to run them at stock height?
Yeah for sure!
Did you have to roll the fenders on your setup. Looks so clean but I've never rolled fenders before...
Yes mine are rolled.
Hey Alex! What are the wheel specs on the white Miata?
16x8.25 +10 I think
Im Currently running 15x8 et20. Looking at getting a new setup, just not sure what to get. 15x8 et0 or 15x9 et0 or et -13 🤔 👀
That is what I am thinking about, did you have any rubbing and did you roll fenders? Also are you lowered? My dream setup would be 15x8 et10 or et8 but that would probably rub alot.
@@danyfry39946 no rubbing with 15x8 et20. Any more aggressive offset and you will have to roll/pull fenders.
the real Elbow Grease awesome thank you for the speedy reply
Hey, did you end up going with the 0 offset? If so how’s your experience?
Hi, I've got a pretty basic question. Did you remove the plastic liners and is it a real problem with stone chips or crap getting to places you don't want it? I lowered it recently so need to stop the rubbing.
Yeah I removed them. It doesn't bother me but leaves and stuff can get in the fender/door jam.
@@AlexPerrucci I appreciate the reply. Sounds like mine are coming off soon as well:)
bro what do u think about 16x8 et30 ???
Yeah easy fitment 👍🏼
Why didn't you talk about the 14 "?
I think they look really good on NA especially if you want to keep a retro style
They do look good! I just don't have much experience with 14's.
@@AlexPerrucci unlucky 😩
I just mount four 14x7 et0 and they look so good but a little too wide so i have to roll the fender... Any suggestions?
@@samuelezunnui4086 borrow a fender roller and heat gun and take your time!
So I gotta dumb question will the 15x8 +20 205/50 15 fit stock suspension miata
Yeah for sure
@Alex Perrucci I appreciate it I'll upload a video when finished.
Do u have to roll ur fender with ur fitment?
Yes
what tail lights are those
GV finish panel w/ sick speed tail lights.
He looks so familiar
Meanwhile me with 15x10 wheels 245/40/15 🤣
what wheels are you running?
Work Emotion CR Kiwami
@@AlexPerrucci damn, i dont got money for that😭 i might have to settle for some konigs
Damn I went +5 on my Kiwamis, mistake lol
Aggressive! haha
I don’t understand the craze for wide wheels on tiny cars? You got 100hp trying to rotate huge lumps of rubber. All show no go. Throw some light skinny 6” wide rims on 185/55 or 195/50 at most and feel the car dance through the corners. Tire should match the force applied on it.
aesthetic. when you buy a super car it comes widebodied with wheels fitting the body. most true sport cars follow that too maybe not widebody but fitted. miata is a true sport car but a base entry level one. if they gave it more hp from factory it would have gotten wider wheels and possible flares. 15/8 is actually more functional than the 6 j you want on a miata with more hp
🏃 Promo`SM!
