They will look good and sit fairly flush too. I'd recommend not going overly stretched tyres maybe 225/40 or you could with 215/40. Don't ask tyre shops what they'd recommend they'll tell you to get 255's or something. If your going to go lower then you'll need to roll your guards.

Awesome.. good to know as I was unsure about this, thanks heaps really appreciate it man... the 215/40 would have a slightly lower profile is that right?? (Sidewall 86mm high as opposed to 90mm high on the 225/40's?) but would be more stretched?? (been trying to research as much as possible before asking dumb questions) :)

Now I just need to work out which wheels to go with.. looking for best performance and value for money car is mainly street driven and is currently 200rwkw but I'm hoping to take it up to 230-260rwkw..

So far it appears Toyo's or Federals are the go.. and Michelin Pilot PS2's are the best but they look insanely pricey

thanks again mate

18x9 fr +22

18x10 r +25

got 225 fronts and 255 rear toyo's on my current wheels, which i'll swap over and trial on the weekend.

guards arent rolled yet, pretty sure i'll need to do that at least.....

as above,but with 235's on the front which are scrubbing the liners...

once new tyres are on guards will be rolled and will add more low (dont need to at the height im at now)

Roll all the guards dead flat for clearance.

Cut the front inner lining so it still stops things getting inside the guard, but so it doesn't interfere at the top where clearance is tight.

Then you'll have no issues at all.

Thanks mate, no issues is obviously what im hoping for!

Yeah after changing pads over the weekend, looks like its only hitting the bump in the liner behind the front wheel on close to full lock atm. Can live with it for now, then when new tyres are on and i go lower I'll reassess.

Very happy with the wheels tho, and once finished will be spot on :P

haha nice work :blink: Where you located?

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
