Rim/Tire experts needed.....
Ok, here is the deal.....I want some summer/weekend PHAT Rims/Tires......so what do you guys recommend, that requires NO alignment etc....I want to be able to jack up my car, trade off tires for the weekend, then back to stock for the week. I would prefer some package deal from Tirerack.com. Please let me know.....I don't care about the weight of them, they are for looks, not racing. Money IS NO issue !
Thanks,

Easy guys ! I am not a mechanic ! I've read other post, where there were mentions of VSA issues with larger tires/rims, that is why I am asking you guys for "gentle" assistance !

AcurA Crazy,
Sure! As long as you already have your tires/rims balanced and fitted, you can put it on yourself. Just make sure you torqued the lug nuts to the correct tightness.

try http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
to get tire size info. Don't forget that the offset of the wheel (the CL-S is +55) has to be taken into considerations..

What is an offset? Our wheels are +55? What does that mean? Most of the wheels on the TL page have offsets of 48 & 50, so will that fit? Can our car takes smaller offsets without a problem then or larger offsets. The set of rims i'm looking at has 18x8 with a 42 offset. Will these measurements fit the CL-S or will it not and why if not?

Kwick-CL-Ver-S,
Goto www.tirerack.com for a better explanation of offset.
Goto www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and try on some tire width with their respective offset.
