i changed my tire to 18inch...
and i don' know why, i see more gap between tire and body
and tire is seems smaller than stock...
any way. do i need wheel alignment on my car. i think i installed my tire pretty good...

 

The wheel gap all depends on what tire size you got on your 18s!!!

What size tires did you get????

FYI
235/40-18 is almost EXACTLY the same as the stock 215/50-17 in radius and revs/min.

225/40-18 is a little small, so it will make the wheel gap look bigger.

You dont NEED an alignment when you change tires, but I ALWAYS get one when I get new tires!!!!

I would recommend it!!!

 

 

i think my tire is 225 -40-18
i'm going to get spring for my car, i'm considering to get comptech spring on my car...
but if my wheel is too small, should i get other spring?

 

Actually, the 225/235 is the width of the tire. The height of the tire is the 35/40/45/50, If you would have gone with 225/45/18, there would not be as much gap. I am still not sure of what kind of gap you are talking about, from the edge of the tire to the edge of the wheel well ? OR from the top of the tire to the top of the wheel well ? If you are not happy with it, lower it.

no. i changed 4 tires. i decided to get comptech spring
thanks for your help guys...

 

Correction - 225/40/18 are closer to stock!

 

I am going for the same set up as you (18" with Comptech drop).

Will you have any pictures available?

 

Nope. :shakehd: AztecRol was right, 235/40/18s are almost exactly the same diameter as stock. Check the link zamo posted: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
