Get wheels with the correct offset that fit.

Anyone know where to get fender flares that bond to the wheel arch not the bolt on ones? Cheers

Hi.
I agree with all who have said get a set of wheels which fit with no modifications. You are obviously one who has no regard for an mx5 if you did you would not fit those hideous flares which will attract the attention of the law. I guess what I really mean is wake up.

Ive googled and people running 15x8 0 offset said that they just rolled the guard and installed coilovers because the lower you guy the more you get negative camber.

Broadly I thought the rules on replacement wheels were:

No more than a 25mm increase in the maximum factory track (12.5 each side) - those wheels would there make your car defective.
Wheel width can be no more than 1 inch larger than the largest factory wheel for that model. 15x8 would be illegal on a NA8
