Buying New Rims

Post by 92BlAcKGS »

Hello, i am looking for rims for my mx-3, in either 16 or 17 inch sizes.

What sizes of tire will fit on 16, and what sizes for 17 that will not rub on stock struts, suspension

Thanks

205/45/16

But you can go wider. 215 should fit.

SEARCH FUNCTION JONG! : )

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html <- HAndy Tire Size tool... book mark it.

http://www.wheelweights.net <--- HAndy Wheel Weight Ref... book mark it too!

Many combos will fit... but the bigger the wheel to greater the parasitic power loss and the worse your suspension will work.
