Sorry mate, I don't know what you mean. Did you have any luck with the sticker company?

Hi,
sorry wrong post
That was for the 15 "wheels.
I like this Wheels

Because of the stickers
I am waiting for response from the sticker company.
Many companies do not send to Germany.

I do have a pair of 15" five spoke Revolutions for sale, 11"J, drilled for ford or Jap, ie 4x108 or 4x100.
They are new, never fitted. You would just need two fronts which are available again.

Cheers mate but a few posts ago I posted what I've bought mate and ordered some spinners from the states mate. Can you tell me the profiles you've gone for on three mate. Want the small wheel big tire 60s look

The fronts are 185/70s I think.

The original 250GTO ran 15" 185/80 all round. 26" diameter.

I'm gonna have to do some research to find out what all the terminology to do with wheels actually relates to but I've got a question in the mean time - if you fit larger wheels & tyres to the car so that the overall circumference is increased, how easy is it to alter the speedo etc so it's still accurate?

I'm thinkin' about eventually getting some wider, larger wheels to help keep my ass on the black stuff but just working out how feasible it would be.

Hey Bongo where you been?
You can use this tool, to show what each variant does to you speedo. www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Thanks for that Peeps.

Bought my donor last October and have been clarting about with it (very slowly) since then.

Been sorting out the rear heated screen, bulbs, window motors & guides etc. Just little faffy things that I'm able to potter about with myself on my drive before I get on with checking all is spot on under the bonnet & servicing brakes, suspension and that. Once all that's done I'll be looking to order the 250c kit.

Oh and had a leaky fuel tank too - petrol was pi$$ing out the draining bolt. So yeah - been fairly busy but haven't achieved an awful lot just yet!

Bongo · #32 21st February 2013, 03:19

Okey cokey - I think I've just realised where I've been getting confused.

Until now I'd assumed that the rolling out of the rear arch was to accommodate a larger diameter wheel but by reading back through other threads I've picked up on the fact that it's the width / offset or spacing of the wheels that change to give the car a wider footprint and look better with the wider bodywork.

Makes perfect sense now!

Daft bugger!

It's amazing how clear things can become at 4am!

Hi seanick. Can you post a picture of the wheels. I am having major wheels stress. I may be interested.

Hi Dave

Sorry but I took Nick's rear wheels in p/x on kit some bits. I will fit them on the rear of our workshop car and see how they fit with the kit. If OK, and you can find some fronts to match, I am sure we can do a deal.

Grahame's wheels are really nice and under £400:

I think they are 7J front and 8J rear with 15mm ET, with a 30 mm spacer on the rear only, but I am sure Grahame will confirm that.

your right Chris, I forgot to tell Hienrich about the spacers so hopefully he'll see this

Gents I am in need of 3 space saver wheels for my build. Once built I will happily pass them on for the cost of postage to the next needy builder, cheers
