Looks like there's another Miata in the horizon...After giving up his '99, he's got the itch again and has been harassing the crap out of me to get him a Miata...My brother, that is. He's got his eyes set on an '02 that he wants me to speak to the owner today to try and make a deal for him...
This was the '99


This was when it was stock

The 245 is less than $10 cheaper than the 255 as well...so it doesnt really make a whole lot of sense.
I like how low I'd be able to stay with the 235s. Plus the amount of rolling to get the 255s in there is pretty significant.

Of course not!
I plastidipped mine and it was super easy.
The newest Special Edition has black mirrors...it looks uber-hot. First car I've seen since 2008 that I've actually debated trading up for.

BFGs definitely run wider. My 225 BFG vs 225 Falkens were almost 3/8in wider. I say one of the main things depends on how low you are going to go with them.

I've heard that the 255s may snag the inner fender, but I've got a friend that runs 285s with no such issue, so I dont know.
As much as I want the most giant tires I can get, I need a little practicality since it is my daily.
