19\" wheels

Postby **Okibi** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 7:41 am

It has been done.

Would I do it? No way. I don't think it's legal to put on different sized rear wheels.

I've gone from 17's back to the stock 15s.

Its illegal to go bigger then 17inch on an MX5 anyway regardless and anything bigger then 18s will look ridiculous. Just look at lowering your rear springs a bit more since the back sits a tad higher.

Where is that little emoticon of the hammer bashing someone on the head when you need it.

Do you guys realise how much better your car will drive with a set of 15\" wheels on it... You will be amazed...

My car came standard with 17\" wheels and I think they are a tad too big.

If you read his post you will see he \"pumped the guards a little\".

Can anyone say overkill?

Here you go.

I got from this that he pumped it FOR the 19s, but they were too much, ride was crap, so he changed them.

BCHELR wrote:i just lowered my back another inch so the tyre sits nice in the guard.
18x7.5 all around looks sweet.

I assume he didn't put the guards back to stock, so now he is running 18x7.5 with the guards still "pumped a little".

Please correct me if that's not the case BCHELR. There's your answer mlv11n, they'll go!

DINO also had 18s on his.

since when.....& why?

I always thought that you were allowed 2\" bigger than stock.

If standard is 16\" you can go up to 18\"s but for a NA max biggest would be 16\"s.

ao758 is from Sydney NSW
If i remember & read correctly hes converted an NA to rotary. Or in the process

SO NSW laws come into play. which are different to other states.

legally he's allowed to have 19" rimms as long as the overall height of ther combination does not exeed 15mm more than the largest tyre & wheel combination stated for that vehicle.

Front wheels
*no narrower than 70% fitted to the rear

but then i can't imagine a 19" rimm being less than 6.5" or even 7" anyway.

since he's building a beast.....in the end he's prolly going to get it all enfgineered anyway so all this waffle is pointless :mrgreen:

19\" rims are huge :shock:

I thought my 16\" rims are pretty big already
It's gonna look so pretty meaty and badass on a car like a Miata though

sometimes i wish i could JDM the car, black paint/rims and punish it. then other times i love the look of sex spec.

I fail to see how it can be refered to as sex spec?! How do you get any sex when 99% of the population is laughing at you, and you oversized, look at me wheels?
