    Thank You Very Much! I don't know who set up the sound, but it was horrible (everything else was great). I do want to know what offset is needed in order to run 6 piston wilwood brakes on a NA. Are the number you gave cover that or is more needed? I want to get Daytona Wire wheels for the retro look, but have outstanding brakes. I can't remember what the inside of wire wheels look like as I haven't been around any since the late 80's when my father had a 1970 XKE and a 1958 TR3, so I'm not sure if they have any curve to them or not. Thanks for any input you can give.

    Unfortunately, it's more complex than just an offset number. It all depends on the shape of the wheel. You'll need to get a brake template and a wheel together - often wheel manufacturers can check that for you if you send them the template. We've never really looked into wire wheels too carefully so we don't have any solid input to give.

    The wheel will interfere with your stock diameter springs. Coil overs are a better answer than spacers, which will also cause more fender clearance problems.

    Hello brains of flying Miata I have got a question hoping that y'all can help for the last four and a half years I have been building a custom car planning to run the 14-in rims but it completely skipped my mind the low profile Tire availability for a 14 inch the entire time of the build I have finally reached that part to where I need to put wheels and tires on it but my problem is is I cannot go over a 19 inch height Tire and I cannot find a low profile Tire to fit a 14 that is less than 20 or 21 in hoping y'all can help do they make a 15 that has a lower profile Tire that is less than 19 or at least less than 20 thank you in advance your friends bleau an Frenchy

    That's a tough ask. There aren't many street tires that are 19" in overall diameter. To put that in perspective, that's the same as a classic Mini on 10" wheels. Even the Mini eventually went to a 19.9" diameter when they switched to 13" wheels - using a 175/50-13. Mini Mania stocks them, and you can (with some effort) find 13" wheels that will fit a Miata depending on your brake choice.

    Assuming you don't want to roll the fenders, you may not be able to go wider than a 215. It will depend on your alignment to some extent.
