What size wheels do you plan on running?
 
A lot of you have very different ideas for wheel upgrades, namely size. This IS NOT a thread to start arguing about what you think about someone's wheel choices. This is a thread created to educate, inform and maintain a productive dialogue. Have fun. :happy0180:

I will probably get 17x8.5's all around. Should stay light and not be too expensive for tires.

be sure to vote in the poll!! i've been snooping around on S2KI and I notice a lot of those guys are running 17's. will be researching the Miata forums next.

For the size of the car I think 17's should work great.

Rubber is lighter than aluminum, 17".

17x8 +35 and 17x9 +35 is what i am aiming for.
If lower offset will fit, then great :)

started off @ 19" bumped down to 18" and now becoming more interested in 17" for reasons of cost/performance compromise, especially after researching aftermarket wheel/tire setups for the S2K.

17" with 235/40 tires all round.

So wouldn't 16'' be better then?

zoomzoomers 03-23-2012 07:03 PM

I think I'll be going with 18's.

meWant 03-23-2012 07:18 PM

i think 18's or 19's

RRnold 03-23-2012 07:23 PM

I would like to explore if 16's will clear the calipers for my track wheels.

For the street I don't plan on going larger than 18's but do want to have a nice aggressive staggered offset and fill in the gaps.

Are you thinking of going staggered? I've been thinking of non-staggered. I know normally I would go staggered, but I don't think staggering will benefit this car other than asthetically.

For the track, I would like to keep the size the same all around so it will save on $$ and would easier to rotate. CCW Classics would be my choice wheel for the track.

For the street I would like to get a nice aggressive look. I really liked the setup of the GReddy FR-S with the 19x8.5F and 19x9.5R but I think 19's along with rubber would get expensive.
