anybody running those in the front? thinking about getting those for autox....either 225/45/15 or 275/35/15....post pics if you have them on a ep...!

Thanks

Miata guys rock those.. I actually like them but they are to small.

Damn, that nickel finish looks niiiiiiice :D

[civictype_r04]

That look nice dude just think they are a little to small for the EP3!!!

[udontknowjack]

Pull the trigger on this bronze 15x9 for front... 15x7.5 for rear

U r right 275 it's over kill... Would love 255 but nobody make that size in 15'... 4x100 really limited my choice... Probably stick wig 225 v710 or a6

i know....i used to own a ffs na miata...= )

nickel finish will be my last choices.....black/bronze first be my first two pick.....

options are very limited with 4x100.....the only other wide enough is rpf1 16x8 ....but 245/45/16 i think its a bit too tall..... plus im not getting those for look.... 15x9 weight in at 12.7 lbs ftw

Exactly! Wide and light FTMFW!

I saw a miata with these the other day. I say go for it, although I'm confused on your tire choices.. you'd have tremendous wheel gap with such small tires, or no gap, and completely fucked suspension geometry from being on 15s with a 35 profile tire.. Don't you think 50 walls would do you better? Say 245/50?

whoooooa, missed the bit about running a 35-series tire.
I'm assuming the idea of running such a low profile is to avoid rubbing. Running something as wide as a x9 wheel with big beefy tires to boot is (I think ) just asking for fender rubbing issues. So I could see where the thought to run lower-profile tires comes from.
So yeah, how bad would this be for geometry? Just for autox, so maybe it doesn't matter that much...seems counter-intuitive, though.

Something like this...

wheel gap have nothing to do with performance which its what im after.... according to mr ep3 suspension dude (Mustclime) with our car anything lower than .75 will fucked up our car's suspension geometry.... i want my car to handle not look good.... always modds all my cars that way

in autox you want to jam the biggest/widest tires you can..... and weight is your worst enemy....with 4x100 that 02 ep3 came with the widest tires i can go with will be 275/35/15 hoosier....and i dont drive those on street....
