you will need to use a forwarding service to get them tho, the company does not post out of the USA but you post to the forwarding comapny in the US then they post it to you.

I run a 10.5" at the rear.

Its OK as long as you dont replace your suspension with after market coilovers and run a maximum factory camber... thats what I did last week and the rims now have a 2mm gap from the shocks. The rear wheel touches the shocks (metal to metal) every hard turn or if I pull into a drive-way. Breaks my heart. I had to add 3mm spacers at the rear to stop them from destrying each other.

This "might" be the same if your wheels are too wide at the front. I dont have this problem because I am running 8.5" at the fronts.

hey guys n girls im still looking for rims and it seems no shops around are all that interested in selling them to me, so anyone got some that are forsale to suit my v35 with brembos? 19 or 20" thanks!

i got some rims finally, ended up with 19x9 +20 at front and 19x10+10 at rear, fits sweet! verry aggressive at the rear tho looks sweet! ended up with rota grids that just came out in 19's saved me some cash aswell will possibly look at somthing bigger (20") later on but my tires where shot and these where easy!

Hi Guys n Gals,

I've recently fitted 20x10.5's front and back (ADV 5.1's), no spacers and no machining, under Bilstein fully adjustable coil-overs. Pretty aggressive at the front, lots of tyre stretch and I still need to get some upper camber control arms and likely roll out the guards. The rear sits perfectly with no rubbing just using a mild setting on the factory lower camber arms and lipping the rear guards (Chris at Centreline Suspension is truly a master at fitment, just need to arrange him to fit the fronts under).

Pics as soon as someone gets a camera that's not my phone, it struggles focusing on all black.

Cheers

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
