fitment question

Postby module22 » Sat Dec 11, 2010 8:34 am

Hey guys i got a set of wheels looking to fit this weekend.

Car: NA6 Mx-5

Wheel specs:

Rears: 14x8.5 -10 195/60
Fronts 14x7 -9 185/60

Test fitted them this morning seemed to stick out quite abit. Gettting the gaurds rolled and pumped now, also going to install coilovers later today. Will be looking into an alignment and some camber adjustment during the week.

Question is what other things should i consider to make them fit?

Have you considered checking the condition of your suspension bushes before alignment?

holy ƒü¢k... thats an agressive setup.. gonna need alot of camber to run that man.
with the stretch it wont be as bad but still need a pull at least and camber.
