I think Kirbayy is prob one of the only ones doing it right. "Aggressive wheels and a Fat tire. Correct me if I am wrong. Thats aggressive and fat.

Also Lgears car is spot on as well. This is not a racing tire square setup thread. Sure you could fit a 19x11 with a +52 with a nice fat tire. But something aggressive that looks good is tougher.

Another reason this thread has only 151 pages and the stretch tires has double. They dont criticize everyone who post...

Thats my nickle

This is probably more of a dreamer post, but...

I came across some wheels and was wondering if it would be possible to run a
18x12 +30 in the rear with a meaty tire? Would it fit flush with Rolled fenders and possibley a pull? Or would it look sunk in?

18x12 at +30 won't clear the front shocks on the inside. You will need to space it out.

That's actually nearly perfect offset for fitting 12" rears without having hellastretch and 6 degrees of camber. Compared to the popular 18x10.5 +15 setup, it would EXTEND 4mm on the outside. Inner suspension clearance will be close, but should work no problem. A 315 will be slightly stretched and should fit with a good roll.

Scratch my post, I didn't read it through all the way. It will tight on the rear shock as well. Should be ok, though.

The wheels are 9.5+15F and 10.5 +15 rear. The corner loading almost makes the tire look stretched.

EmpireDude, more pics now!

I'll probably be going with some RPF1s in 18x9.5 +15 front and 18x10.5 +15 rear in the near future! Im trying to decide between 245/275 40s and 255/285 35s. Im at stock height (for now) so I dont wanna create any more wheel gap! Any advice/opinions??? Thanks!

255/275 40 will give you the exact tire diameter as stock. With a 35 series tire, you'll have shorter sidewalls than stock unless you do something like 285/315 35. Here's a good tool to play with tire sizing: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

245 or 255/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear would be standard sizing. Then if you run a 35 series , you will want nothing less than a 265/35 up front and minimum of 285/35 rear.
