does anyone have pics of 18 inch on mx-3. Because of my bodykit i don't want to drop my car and i want to know how it looks on 18 inch without dropping the suspension.

I think that could be pushing it 18 inch.

does that mess with your speedometer or the the tires porpotional?

precidian · Post by **precidian** » May 20th, 2002, 11:46 am

the tires are a 215/35 Toyo Proxes FZ4s. With the wheel size and tire combination, I am 0.2% too slow. Essentially when my speedometer is reading 60mph I would be travelling at a speed of 60.1 mph. If you want to figure out the right combination then check out the <A HREF="http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html" TARGET=_blank>tire calculator</A> at Miata.net.Cheers,[ May 20, 2002: Message edited by: precidian ]

I haven't had any problems with speed either since the stock 15's come very close to the overall size of 18's with 35 series tires. <A HREF="http://mx-3.freeservers.com" TARGET=_blank>http://mx-3.freeservers.com</A>

Thanks but there are quite a few others that are much better than mine, as always though, I'm in progress.

what body kit you got on it cos 18s might just rub on full lock

I have the Postert front and Pakfeifer sides. I have coil overs though so I'm not sure of the drop.

you could get them on no bother but your car wouldnt handle as good as it would with 17 on
