I think my setup is better fit in this thread, I think...

20x10 and 20x13
245/35/20 and 295/35/20

 

You just stay there...

 

I couldnt get anything bigger in a competitive street tire. I decided a 140TW 285 was better then a 305 200TW

I plan to go to a 305/315 setup when I eventually go to R-comps. I wanted to stay on street tires for at least one more year. when the RS3's wear out I will decide what to move to maybe a R888 or maybe by then I will decide to go to a track dedicated setup of slicks or something

 

you could def go bigger in front like a 265 or 275

looks good though!

 

Couple from a autox school I instructed on Saturday....*Not my pictures.

Best looking miata I have ever seen....regional STR champ James Dunham:


The Z....285/30 Hoosier A6's....*not slammed or overly aggressive fitment .


Hopefully have a few better pics in a week or two....

 

nice man...

that maita is pushing it in a good way...I like

I bet that thing is still agile and dances around cones eh?

 

He won the biggest class in the region this year...STR averages 15-20 cars per event....so yeah...it dances a bit.

 

should I need a spacer to clear the control arm or coils?? or is clearing the brake pretty much my only concern??

 

In my experience, brakes or suspension in the front, and just suspension in the rear.

 

I am considering running a BFGoodrich KDW 275/35/19 in the front on a 9.5 +22 offset wheel. Anyone have experience going this big with kdw's on the front?

 

THANKS

I will be sure to take plenty of pictures and report back with fittings, I have 15mm studded spacers currently on the car so i will do all test fitting with them on and off. then once test fitting is done we will install the extended lugs and buy slip on spacers accordingly.

 

I am guessing it should be fine, the 275x35 is .5" bigger in diameter than the 255x35. I am running 255x35's now with a 10mm spacer.

 

in for pics of barnabas's Z!

 

wow...

que the hand claps...

glad to hear...did he massage the fenders a bit...either way that miata is what I'm about...

MOAR

 

Any spacers?

 

Pulling the fenders is illegal in STR. You also can't remove the fender wells. He is having some rubbing issues, but it runs very stiff springs and firmly valved shocks. He plans to raise it about a 1/4", though from what he told me.

Me? Yes. Miata? Don't know.

 

cool makes sense

BUT

seems the tires are rolling the fender it self...note the front fender...from experience with no roll or pull. Big tires will roll the fender in due time next to cutting themselves...

So I have a queston cause I don't know the red tape on the issue.

If one i.e. maita owner size up the tires. During the course of racing the tire rubs and forms the fender is that considered rolling or a mod?

 

The fender lips are rolled....sorry forgot to mention that. Rolling the fenders is legal...can't pull them or remove the plastics, though.

 

Sorry, Mike, I meant you. 10? 15mm?

 

15mm if I remember correctly.
