Meaty tyre thread

Postby Harrisk » Sun Sep 06, 2015 4:26 am

Since theres no thread for meaty/fat/track stanced mx5s yet, I've decided to make one.

Rules:
- Post pictures with specs of wheels and tyres!
- No stretched tyres, hellaflushed stanced mx5s! (not hating on the stance scene though!)
- Post only fat, meaty, track fitments on mx5s!
- Respect each others rides!
- Try to keep the chat to a minimum, the more pics the better!

I would show an example of a meaty setup on an mx5 but i've only had mine for about a month now, and havent done anything to it yet. So for now here is a picture of my last 86.

Lets see them fat tyre fitments!

Good idea!
Reserving my place
NB with 16x9 with 225 AD08Rs which are more like a 245 width so completely square on the rim.
No pics yet because the guards need more work to fit them lol.
