Yeah guess we have the same goals dean

That's the debate though isn't it? Stretched vs regular, you get real fitment with stretched but negatively affects your performance. Maybe a thinner tyre than your mentioned combo may accommodate +35?

Does anyone know the specs on guy_coles RPF1's? Love his car, looks very schmick

Guy_Coles and Coffeeboss both run rpf1 in 17x8 +45 with 215/45 rubber. Flush no guard roll.

That's balanced form and function

if you visit the lowdown forums then form will be their major concern.

My friend ash's gs300, used as a daily driver.
Ash says, "this is flush"
The car is surprisingly comfortable inside too

All personal opinion man. Do whatever makes you happy

V nice GS300 ^

if your wanting to go similar spec wheels to me, your going to need to go 225 45, they don't make lower than 45 in the 225 range. It is barely a stretch - 225 = 8.86 inch

People will argue all day about whats best for performance, at the end of the day it is a daily drive, a 225 tyre will handle exceptionally well and exceed our driving abilities. Just make sure you get quility tyres.

Hey guys, just a quick update

After hearing non stop about Voodoo gearknobs I decided to grab one as I knew how much difference a simple gearknob could make to the feel of a car. Luckily a forum member was selling one in mint condition and this also saved me the drive to Hornsby (mx5mania). After purchasing the gearknob I decided it was time to take another attempt at fixing the roof creaks and rattles. This time I got some auto grease as mentioned by forums and a member here. I applied the grease to the forks that hold the roof to the bit above the windscreen and voila! No more rattles!

I'm so happy with the car at the moment, no more frustrating rattles, just smooth quiet driving
