Are there any other 17x11 rear wheels that are black other than the zr-1's? Want to get some 275 40 r 17 and 315 35 17 gsd3's. Dont want any rubbing if possible.. but i really like that oe black motorsports z06 rim but it has 17x9.5 or 18x10.5... sigh

any suggestions?

Is it really that crucial to not be able to rotate the tires:? Will be the first time I stray away from having matching 4 corners.

If I were to get 17x11 ZR1's with 315 BFGoodrich drag radials, I would have to hammer the fender to get them not to rub? I thought that I read somewhere that they would fit fine as long as I wasn't lowered. Makes me change my mind about wanting them after all.

Rotating has never been an issue to me . . . . ZR1's are your only inexpensive choice, you could go CCW, Fikse, IForged . . .

Some minor inner wheel well BHF would be needed.

Default Another Fitment Question

Fitment

Would 18x9 wheels with 275/40/18 tires work on all four?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, although I highly recommend a 275/35ZR18 tire instead, same OD as a stock tire.

use this http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html to ensure the diameter of the new tyres are within 1 or 2 percent of the originals, they should also be as close as possibly matched front to rear to avoid ABS problems, what you propose is 1.1% difference between front and back.

Tires are a bit small for the wheels. Better tire sizes are 275/40ZR17 and 315/35ZR17.

OEM Zo6 wheels I believe are 8.5" wide front and the rears are definitly 10.5"


I ran 295.35ZR18 rear tires on mine 30 serise would be too low.

Fronts if they are running a 275, I'd say are not OEM wheels.

Out back may need a little inner wheel well massaging.

Which sized tires? . . . 295/35ZR18? I ran those on my convertible. Did have to do some VERY monir BHF on the inner wheel well. The wheels were 10.5" wide witha 57 mm offset.
