I have a few questions I was hoping I could get some help with,

I have a 02 TL Type S

I am looking to get the SSR GT3 18's and lower the car with H&R Sport Springs 1.75 F 1.50 R

What would you recommend for tire size 225/40/18 or 225/45/18?

Does anyone know the offest I need, so if I go with this set up I don't have to roll the fenders? I don't want to cut the car.


Does anyone have a upper strut bar? I am looking for a polished one.

Dooes anyone have a AEM CAI installed? If you do what is the increase in HP.

Thanks for your help,

 

I think someone has a set of GT3's in the Tire and Wheel Section for sale. 2months old w/Bridgestone 215/45/18. No rubbing 49 offset 18x8

 

I'd say 225/40/18's with either 48 or 49 offset (positive of course...)

 

most definitely go with 225/40/18

 

I'm getting the S2k, so i have the SSR GT-3 in 18" like turbo said. Wheels are off the ride already, not a single mark on them just alittle break dust. The tire size is the closest to your factory as possible. this link should explain. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
hit me with an email at vinc7@email.com if interested.

 

I didn't mind cutting the tab so I got 225/45 18 for my GT3's. The wheels are 18x8 with a +49 offset. The tires did rub the tab even with the stock springs.

Now the pros of having a tire different then mine aside from having to cut the tab off......is......TIRE SELECTION!! for 225/45 18, I have a choice of the Bridgestone SO-3 and a couple of Michellins....yes, a huge selection of three different tires! I'm sure(I hope) other choices will soon come out but that's it so far....I believe.
