mdjdc Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I got a set of 15" pugs for a build that I am doing for my daughter. My question is what size tires the car will accept without any mods or a lift kit? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartless Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 here is a helpful tool i found - http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html choose the stock tire/wheel size on the left - then the "new" tire/wheel size on the right, the graphic will show you the difference using lines as the stock size to show you the differences - play around with different sizes until you find one that is closest to the original overall diameter and you have found what you are looking for. it also tells you the difference in speedo the change will make under the graphic - might want to pay attention to this as well... looks like a 205/55 is very close to the stock diameter.... good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that with my 215/75/R15 tires that my speedo is approx 19.4% slower than stock. This also helps when I calculate my fuel economy with the larger tires. Oh, and according to TireRack.com the stock tire size for my 86 GL is 185/70-13. Edited February 9, 2009 by bobs97c5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
