Thread: Wheel size?

  1. #1

    Default Wheel size?

    What size wheel and rubber would you use on a mostly track turbo Miata?

    I am thinking 15X 7, 7.5, 8. I can only find good rubber in the 225/50-45 range. Also thinking about Spec Miata take offs.

    You're definitely headed in the right direction. Unless you are trying to make you're gearing slightly longer by using a 225/50, go with a 225/45 series tire.

    You can get NT-01's, RA-1's, Avon's, and the Hankook Z214 in 225/45/15.

    Without hacking up the fenders, that's going to be about it. For quality inexpensive, light, wide wheels, check out 949 Racing's 6UL wheel. I'd opt for a 15"x8" set and add your favorite flavor of 225/45-15 tires.

    That's what I have as my street wheels and tires. Those wheels won't be available until March, though.

    You may also consider a 15x7.5 or 15x8 rota slipstream in the color of your choice.

    My track wheels are 15x7 Volk TE-37's with 225/45/15 RA-1's. The 225 tires fits just fine on the 15x7 wheel.
