Hi folks,

I'm using the rear of an '98 MX5 as part of a project car, and am wondering what size rims & tyres were standard with these?

Thanks - Gavin.

Standards were 15x6's and the option 16's were 7\" wide but weighed a ton.

A "real" clubman ... i.e. a Lotus 7 copy. Sort of.

Anyway, many thanks for the replies. Even if there's disagreement over the wheel width, you've given me enough to go on now.
