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

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.
