15x9 6ul on a na6 any issues?

Postby peterwho » Wed Jan 23, 2013 2:54 am

im planning to purchase a set of 15x9 6ul's from 949 racing, ive got yellow speed racing dynamic pro coilovers. I understand you have to roll and even pull the fenders (already rolled) but is there any need of spacers to avoid rubbing with my springs? has anyone on here had or have this set up? thanks in advance :)

6uls are designed for a mx5 right up to 10 inch. You shouldn't have any problems fouling things on the inside only fitting them under your guards.

from my understanding 15x9s rub on the standard suspension but with a narrower setup like your yellowspeeds youll be fine

Is your engine stock? I'm just wondering why you'd go 9 inch. If you're doing for stance/looks etc, that's your choice but just wondering if you're aware of the downsides.

I run 15x9" 6ul wheels with 225/45/15 tyres on my NA. They don't hit on my car, and I only have a light guard roll.
