Here's what you need to know if you want to RB your NA Miata! TIKTOK / omg.miata INSTAGRAM: / omgmiata #MAZDA | #MIATA | #OMGMIATA | #CAR | #HOWTO | #DIY
Damn man I've been following this build for a while now on insta and have seen you addressing the fender gap debate before but it didn't make too much sense to me why the kit was higher and now I know. Great stuff as always!
I'm assuming you mean that a 15x8"+ wheel would be too narrow for the rocket bunny kit (I would agree if this is the case). In any other non-widebody application, I would argue that anything wider than 8" is more detrimental to performance driving than beneficial. Unless you are very selective in your wheel choice (specifically offset), you can't fit anything wider than 8" under the fenders without running camber (Too much camber defeats the purpose of having a wider tire because only the inner portion of the tire has any noteworthy contact with the pavement). Specifically, in performance applications, this is no bueno. Obviously, if you are a member of the stance scene, this doesn't matter, but Miatas already run a bit more camber than needed when you drop it more than 1.5", so if you were to couple the naturally induced camber that comes with lowering a car with the need to run even more camber to fit a wider wheel you gain a net loss in grip (in most cases). You begin to introduce a lot of additional scrub radius as well and turn-in can suffer a bit because of this. Additionally, depending on your suspension set up and alignment, you may begin to encounter understeer which is no fun in a Miata. :/
this is great looking car. I love the wheels and tires .could explain simply how to run larger tires on a Miata? I would like to have that wide tire/wheel appearance. I only want to run 225/35/18 on my 2008 Miata. any advice, hints, or tricks would help.
So would you reccomend 15x9s Or do you think 16's are more set for this build? I want to get wheels that are light still, I was thinking some Rota Shakutans 15x9's but no clue if they would be "big enough" to make it look filled.
Would it be possible to get rid of gap on air with some camber while driving to help with it being so soft while driving? Think I’m gonna run bags and a rocket bunny with some 15 x 12/13’s with some light tire stretch and negative camber for some more wheel well clearance.
I know you guys in usa call it miata over here in Ireland is mx5 but anyway iv seen many in person and many in youtube videos but man this is by far the nicest miata/ mx5 iv ever seen i love the design of your own 1 of 1 custom wheels i build model kits man this is inspiration for a mx5 miata roadster model kit iv got iv took some screen shots for reffrence i do 3D print model scale wheels for my models but ill find it hard to get the exact wheel cause its ur own 1 of 1 design and I don't create the stl files i just buy them then print out on my hobby 3D printer so ill have to settle for dome nice wheels to replicate this awsome car well done man car is beautiful great build bro well done👏👏👍👍👍
I know I’m late to this video but do you remember where you got the wide body kit at because it looking for one I would really appreciate it you you replied
Does a wide body work with rocket bunny? Saying that because I love the rocket bunny look but the Miata I got came with wide body and just genuinely curious before doing research and everything (looking at the KBD rocket bunny kit)
Trying to find the right information on what wheel size to use so I can throw a kit on and have a semi comfortable ride without slaming the car. Anyone have any tips?
Do you think would be possible to track your car with this kit on ? :)) i want the RB so much but i'm also an regular track and back roads bashing addict...
I don't have any wheel gaps since I'm on bags. But when i aired out my front frame sits on the tires. -Rocking 15x9 -28 and 15x10 -38 with natural camber. You're really brave for being static with that travel 👍
No offense but you said most Miata guys won’t spend that kind of money but if I remember you spend over 80kk on this build do some crazy shit man build custom body slam it so hard to the ground u replace oil and exhaust every week (a joke)
The only thing that made no sense to me is that how in the world are you going to make 300whp from your turbo kit? I’m aware you went with the CARB legal FM kit and it only makes 180whp max. Now if you end up going standalone ecu and bigger injectors I suppose you could make that but then you should’ve just ordered the custom kit. Plus those giant tires and slammed ride height idk how well that kit is gonna move that car haha.
The wheel size wouldn’t matter for how it “fills the gap” because you could always just get tires with more sidewalk that can fill in the gap just as well because the tire would still have the same outside diameter
MASCUNANA BEAR you can get wide 15’s also though, and you made your own wheel so you could’ve just made a wide 15 for yourself, I was just saying about how you said the 16 fills the gap more I was only really talking about diameter before not just width
@@wyattorrante13 it's easy to speculate when you dont actually own the car. You can't simply just put more sidewall as mentioned because it will rub everywhere including the frame - not just the fenders. MIATAS need to stay around 23" to 23.5" OD. You can go 24" to 24.5" but you will have tons of issues as I did with my old wheels and R888R tires. I speak from experience - not theories.
MASCUNANA BEAR I was saying if you use a smaller diameter wheel you could use tires with a little more sidewall to make up for it and keep the same overall OD of the tire
@@wyattorrante13 that statement makes zero sense. My 16" wheel has 23.5" OD tires - how can you fill up the gap more with a 15" wheel with the same 23.5" OD? They have the same OD...16's will fill the gap more because you can go with a bigger OD tire. Most 15s are below 23.5" OD.
@@OMGBUILDS actually loved to have it that low, at a point you just stop caring 🤷♂️😂 but I would never be able to run the rocketbunny front lip when i was that low, thats why it wasnt on back then, and I'm still rocking the stock spoiler because of the square look 🤷♂️😊 altho i love the drivability with the car now! I wont have to avoid pebbles 😂 oh, and if you run more camber like i did, you can get less of a wheel gap up front 👌🏻😊 (currently at the point where you are with my new setup)
@OMGMIATA You seem pretty good at designing and building your own products, so maybe design and build a better set of fender flares with less wheel gap so the car doesn't have to be so slammed and is more usable.
Dude great vid the revised spoiler looks great!👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks man, I've been working Miura-San for a year to get that pushed through 😭
I wanna see this build on bumper2bumper!
Do a bumper to bumper plsss
my god... it's Donut Media!
Bumper to bumper on both these cars
Bro, when he said 15x10's are thin I lost it.
Truth
The Miata is sick! But that Porsche is next level.
I’m so in love with this 🔥
Extremely underrated channel. Keep up the great work bro 🔥
Thanks!
Wow! beautiful build! very underrated channel!
Great video and thanks for the update on the tail lights 👍👌
THIS CHANNEL IS SOOOO UNDERRATED!! youtube algorithm needs to help my boy out smh!
😂
You design your own wheels? Woah that's Wicked
Yeah
I can't wait to buy a set of those tail lights 😭😭😭
Beautiful cars. You’re going to blow up soon!

Good to being some insight
I honestly have never seen better paint in my life.
too wide for my taste, but I could see how people would like it
Love the videos man, such high quality in videography and editing, hope to see you get the recognition you deserve asap ❤️
Thanks!
This miata is just way too beautiful
I appreciate the "hidden work" in making this look that good...I run a 1999 NB, with 16x10 front and 16x11 rears....
Thanks dude!
Thanks dude!
@@OMGBUILDS no worries, some folks might not understand the work and fabrications involved..You nailed it explaining the “gap”....

So dope 🔥
YES I DO WANT TO!
This is a perfectly well put Mx5 !
best b-roll in the game.
Awesome stuff man. I have a nb need to rocket bunny it. Awesome content on your channel. Wish I had a next door neighbor that was a Mazda mechanic!!!
Do it
This is so clean! I'm tryna find some dope wide wheels and tires for my NDRF to replace the club BBS's.
need to get more views, badass miata
Thanks!

I couldn't tell if this was a video game view or real life. lol. I also had some drinks, lol. But damn, that detail was clean!
That transition at the end when switching to the taillights being on though!
magic

nice car i like it
Hey where did you get this kid i love it and i am planning on getting it when i am older if any miatas are still around then. and how much was it?
What is the widebody kit on this miata? Looks stunning!
What’s your website? I’d definitely would love to look around.
Sick video fam. Can make a video of how to make your car legal after mods in California?? 😅

Color code please?
Amazing work
What are those mirrors?, they look great!
Do you have to always install a hardtop or is there a 1990-1995 option for a hardtop
i love those tail lights, but im still drawn to a quad tail light set up.
who made your spoiler?asking to see if some one is willing to make something for another car
how about spacing the front wheels out just so they miss the frame? 😶
obv they'd have to be narrower
What about 17x9 with Spacers? I thought about some Rota wheels .. out here in germany we cant go that wide..
where can i buy those rubber washers used under the screws holding the widebody on?
whered you get the block things that the miata is sitting on
How do you get into making your own wheels?
SHEEEEESH 🥶
I was thinking of doing for me 19 by 9's stretch tires wit Luke -10 camber on air bags
Do you recommend any body kits for the nb Miata? I have a 1999 and have been following your insta for inspiration.
Where can I buy the tail lights when they are available ?
The color amazing i ave a Miata and I won’t to pint her in ‘tis color what is the no’ color?
Hey man, what are good sites to find a genuine kit?
I know I’m late to this video but do you remember where you got the wide body kit at because it looking for one I would really appreciate it you you replied

How realistic is the Khyzyl Saleem Miata render with the front fenders removed?
👌
What are the exact dimensions of these wheels ?
Idk if someone’s already asked this but do you/hydron have a website?
Trying to find the right information on what wheel size to use so I can throw a kit on and have a semi comfortable ride without slaming the car. Anyone have any tips?
So wait what size are are those tires then?

As mentioned - this kit was made for drifting, I'm sure it's fine for track use.
@@OMGBUILDS Thank you for your answer ! Keep going with the channel, your content is fire !!
What chassis brace is that on the inner fender

Bro you have the link for the body kit?
I want that V2 spoiler for my 91 NA so bad. Is there a place where I can follow the status of that and place a pre-order?
My IG
I mean the wheel gap doesn’t look that bad it makes the car look better
I mounted the front part of my front flare lower onto the bumper and had a body shop reshape the flare and it took all the gap away.
Haha interesting
God I want a Miata
👌
MASCUNANA BEAR hopefully a prelude will do
Buy one!
@@callumb5184 I already have cars and I'm just lucky to have cars given to me since I'm related to a mechanic
@@justnwin1026 fair enough then mate
I'm turning 16 and from watching initial d I've been saving sense 10 to buy a miata any extra tips for when I rocket bunny it
Wide tires and wheels 😂
Where did you buy this kit? I want to get one for my Miata
The whole kit is $5000 in Canada if it is the pandem rocket bunny authentic. It could be a rep but I found it for $5000
Where can I get your rims?
you said it colluding have a put out over 300 becuz otherwise the engine would explode, what are some better engines so I can have a Miata with 400+hp
couldn't*
Can I get one on my 2008 miata
My question, is it possible to have this body kit with a v8 swap?
People do it
Why wouldn't it lol
No offense but you said most Miata guys won’t spend that kind of money but if I remember you spend over 80kk on this build do some crazy shit man build custom body slam it so hard to the ground u replace oil and exhaust every week (a joke)
Sell the hydronic wheels I need them please
I customize ur exact same car in nfs heat 😂
The only thing that made no sense to me is that how in the world are you going to make 300whp from your turbo kit? I’m aware you went with the CARB legal FM kit and it only makes 180whp max.

If Greg Peters doesnt need this wide wheels for 400HP, its way too stupid for 275 at max.
We have different Engine plans 🙂
he going for a LS swap If i recall correctly
People who worry about wheel gap drive a car for looks
Half a inch is pretty much big bro at least average
Those wheels are filthy. Did you ever decide to sell or produce more?
Half an inch is a lot😞
Sell the wheels
Man really spent 12 minutes showing what a bad idea this widebody is 😭
Kit is not the same color as the car
Lol wuttt...
It is, kits come in black and he painted it along with the entire car on a vlog, color is rosso ferrari if im not mistaken
