It's not this.



or this.



You don't need to fit an exorbitant amount of tire under a Miata and I like low offset wheels, just not at the sacrifice of real-world actual handling. A mildly stretched tire will break away less progressively, but the cars pictured can't be driven at highway speeds.
Ah, I see now! Tucked, nice offset and a mild stretch are ok. I was never a fan of the rebarreled steelies too.
