the factory coupe 18s sit about flush with the guard on the rear of a sedan, and just inside the guard on the front, 18x8 +30. I had to roll the rear guards just a little as they were just touching the tyre after fitting 350z springs and having the alignment set to factory spec. (245/45 tyres)

Need to be reasonably low other wise these kind of sizes would poke bad

Dont ruin a car like these with cheap shit rota's when something decent isnt a lot more

Finally got the wheels fitted on the wifes v35.

Went with the rota D2 EcEX and we painted centres candy purple as its the colour of her old 180sx.

Went 18 x 9.5 + 15 all round. Had to use slip on spacers as the front hit the brembos.

Fit very nice. Will out pics up tomorrow :)

Cheers for all the help guys

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
