mags for the NB.
Thinking of going 15s on my NB and wondering whats the go out there and what offset etc do I need?..dont want to spend to much..have 17s at the moment and should I stick with them?..they show on my car in my garage..momos but just fitted the full mazda body kit i got from the states and the 17s with the 45 profile(should have got 40s) just dont allow enough room in the guards now with the side skirts fitted.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You will notice a huge difference in how the car handles 17 are way to big
The NBs handle best with a light wheel/tyre combo 15x8 +20-25 is popular because it will not require rolling fenders at stock to slightly lowered while giving you a much wider track
If you want to go more aggresive go 15x9 +0 this is max fit under stock fenders flat rolled and will require some camber
Otherwise anything from 15x6 +40 to 15x8 +20 will be fine
use this to check clearances

oh sorry. 6Ul is a mag made in the states. it is VERY light and the mx5 guys in the states are falling over themselves to get them... pretty much the best mag you can get for an MX at the mo (big call). good sizes and correct offsets. and they look HORN! probably looking at about$1400-1500 per set landed in nz. which isnt bad reallymalcster wrote:yeah they seem expensive, plus freight.
so when you say 6UL do you mean the konigs? and where from as would like to deal in nz if i can.

17x40s? Thats a pretty wide wheelmalcster wrote:yeah i am starting to think 16s now as well but they seem even harder to find in a pattern i like ..maybe i should just get some 17x40s and keep the momos.
Personally I would go a 15x6.5 +20 or around that with a 195/50/15.
Really just depends how extreme you want to go or if your after looks or performance(Tire and offset/Width wise), no point in a 8" wide wheel with stock power If you want to go fast.

To be honest Its just my opinion, I watch the RS Aizawa car with 190PS rocking 15-6.5J and 195/50s I cant see how most people will need much more.
