I am looking to replace the rims on my car anytime now. I am really looking into Weds sa-70's and 90's and I am wanting to go 8" front and 9" rear, either 17" or 18" ( i am not set on either). My fenders were already rolled when I bought the car, but it turns out with a baseball bat and no heater :( so the paint cracked and theres a bit of rust. I am thinking of getting a body shop to just cut the excess off, your thoughts on this? also thinking of flaring the fenders as well, what is the usual cost per fender for this?

so the available sizes/offsets are:

17×7.5J 43 5H-114.3

17×8.0J 32・42 5H-114.3 F

17×9.0J 10・20・35 5H-114.3 FR

18×8.0J 36・42 5H-114.3

18×9.0J 32 5H-114.3 R

20 5H-114.3 RR

18×10.0J 32 5H-114.3 R

any opinions would be awesome. thank you

on my 32 ive got on 18s, the fronts 8.5 offsets 21+ and rears 9.5 offsets 21+

the rears ive flared them 2-3mm out and the fronts im using 20mm fenders.

ive still a fair bit of space left on the rears but the fronts sit flush.

cars lowered by 330mm from the centre cap.

hope that gives u an idea.

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
