    I guess its a bit more cool when youre into miatas, simply being there are few na/nb that look good with 17s. And no one has ever really went all out to fit 17x9s, its the unheard of.
    Would I do it? haha nope, but gotta give him props for getting the job done.

    Looks cool. I would like to see that kind of meat under the car with a purpose though. I get the whole stance thing, but I'm starting to think people are going at it with the same mindset as the go-fast guys who say there is never any such thing as too much power. The problem with this mentality on a appearance based trend is that it just ends up looking kind of goofy. The guy obviously put a ton of work into making these wheels "fit" and for that I like it. Definitely not my taste though, since it is probably a pain in the ass to even drive the car, which defeats the entire purpose.
    Who knows?

    17s aren't too big for this body...but those wheels are too wide...without that camber the wheels would stick out 2 inches

    This. It has to ride like shit, handle like shit and it looks like shit. What's the upside?

    It also appears he used a sledgehammer to roll his fenders.

    17's are grossly over sized for this car. No bigger than 15s should be there.

    So the rear tires are rubbing on themselves?

    Is air their ejaculate? I'm guessing from the always erect valve stem? Later, QD.

    17x9s with use......




    Now if you notice this much wheel is only on s NC, which is the latest iteration of the miata. It has much more room for tire. Few have gotten 17s to work right on a NA/NB. One of those few is on here, some may know him as dopplehanger or somin or frohawk. He also needs 17s to clear his massice Brembo GT kit. Most of the competitive miata guys run 15x8 or 9s.

    These are 15x9s on the nb body style



    this is a 15x8 +20 on 205s on my car

    Throw flares on it and make the rims actually sit flush and we have a winner. But now, fuck that mess.

    Most people think that they are gay, but I like Miatas. This however, makes me agree with most people.
