16x8 supalites what offset

[16bit]

you will need to trim a lot of your plastic inner guards too.

unless you are going to do it properly stick to wheels with the correct offset for MX5's.

by properly i mean you will need to get flares and cut your inner plastic guards and also your outer steel guards too.

also keep in mind the 16x8's are around 10kgs which is very heavy for an mx5.

i still have the watanabes for spirited driving.. the new wheels are just for cruising. The other threads on the bigger forums are all mixed with some fitting and some that dont. I guess i wont know till i get my car back today.

Where is the best place to buy superlights anyway?

[vrmmmpshhh]

im pretty sure the SA warehouse listed on the website is the factory where theyre made. the 16x8s were 260 a rim which is pretty damn cheap.

i got the car back today and the new paint job looks awesome. The watanabes really stick out now which is making me want to keep them and maybe look for another 2 for the rears for a staggered look. Amazing what a nice paint job can do for a car.

assuming NA? are the guards rolled at all? how low is the car/will the car be?

[vrmmmpshhh]

fronts are a good height for the street. the rears could go 1/2 inch lower to level it out.

Wow this looks a silver version of my car

Thats the least specific answer ever.
Almost as silly as people advertising to sell a car who say, 'lowered just right'. Just right for what.. Who?

x7 +12 could fit with rolled guards and 195/40-45's. i'm not much into 16's on NA's but i'd guess that your inner guards would need trimming or removing.

ninja edit: 'fit' is subjective

lol so much hate... did you not read the part where i said street??? im waiting on mania to get in their next shipment of yellowspeeds before i do anything else, even then i will have the front the same but the rears 1/2 inch lower. ive already munched a gv lip before and dont want to do it again.

In the 5th post on this thread I offered to explain to you how to do the maths so you could measure exactly what will and wont fit at your ride height.

Dont expect any effort put into answering your question when you wont even walk outside, take a measurement and then come in and actually tell us what the ride height is.

"good for the street' is not a ride height, its an opinion.

i was doing the calculations all morning with the link posted and therefore did not need any more help with working out offsets. I also said i would be keeping my current wheels (still looking for wider rears) staying with current height at the front and minor lowering at the rears when the coilovers arrive.

what do you mean by shipment? you order them from mania, they order them through YSR, they should turn up within a week.

love the look of the car. 16s i reckon would ruin it. thought of just going 15x7s or 15x8s?

[vrmmmpshhh]

i rang them start of last week to order and they said next shipment was due friday. i guess they order in bulk to save on shipping.
