It's amazing, it's like you can totally have your car low as shit and still have full suspension travel... OMG so impractical!
Obviously if the wheels/tires are under the fender then there will be no problems. I said there would be problems if the tire was under the fender lip...as in directly under.

I don't think you need to talk to me as if I'm an idiot. I'm aware of the advantages of a proper suspension setup. I merely commented that I didn't think the wheels would not fit under the stock fenders (which we both know they won't). I also commented that I've seen plenty of guys try zero offset wheels that were not as wide as Terry's and they were poking quite a bit...

Again, I can't wait to see it Terry.

You said the tires are under the fender in a previous post that I quoted. They must be seriously stretched for the tires to be under, but the wheels to not be.

I'm just correcting your misinformation.
You haven't corrected one ounce of misinformation. You have yet to teach me anything about suspension.

I'm done with this thread.

Terry, I can't wait to see the pics of the miata as you keep on adding stuff/fixing the problems. Sorry for cluttering your thread...

uhhh yea, no shit. Are you new at life too? Terry is running a 195 on a 8J, so it's going to be stretched.

O that's right, you're one of those guys who knows everything, but has never actually DONE anything.

Spend some time fitting extreme wheels on cars or owning an extremely low car, and then come back and talk about how unpractical it is or how there is "no suspension travel". lol

Just curious, but how does a 195 look on an 8' wide wheel? Is it really stretched a lot? (I'm going to be running 13x8's on my 02 and I'm not quite sure how much stretch I want).

Wheels = <3 x liek 11billionz

Car = no.

Therefore, (<3 x liek 11billionz) + no. = wtfux
