Great video on fitting them fatties! My fender roller was too tall for the miata, so I just did it with the ol' hammer

Donut Media you have to disconnect the rear suspension to fit the fender roller

Oh father of miatas , thank you for blessing me today with this video 😇

[@JasonSmith-xy5sn]

Great video Greg. I just want to say that I just got my Miata a few months ago, and within the last week I just finished replacing the timing belt and water pump thanks to your awesome tutorial video. It took me 20 hours to replace the timing belt and water pump although I am only 16. This was also the first time I have ever worked on a car before and I did it with no help and minimal tools. My number one piece of advice for someone with no experience like me would be find a friend or acquaintance who has worked on cars before and have them help you. (P.S. I live in Florida and have no garage so another thing I learned is that I need to buy one of those tailgating tents and a big fan lol.)

The excuse "the spring settled" didn't work out that well for me. Switched back to 8x14's because of that.

[@takumifujiwara8565]

How is it going?

[@heikopanzlaff3789]

Had a 1999 10.Anni with 195/ 50 R 15 Hankook RS 3- 222 Semi slicks. Was OK, enough grip for all situations on a public road. Was also runnig perfect straight at full speed here in no speed limit Germany. Test drove the latest NB with 205 - tires. Straight line performance was not perfect so it seems 195/50 is the best compromise for a ( stock / Bilstein ) NB Miata if driven full speed. Now I have a ND with street legal big brake kit front ( K sport forged 4 pot ) so it was necessary to add 20 mm spacer for clearence the calipers to the stock 17" aloys what I want to keep. Actually I just bought a 2. set of stock 17" alloys for semi slicks. Straight line performance is still OK with the 205/45 tires, dont want a lower profile to prevent demages. Car has also the stiffer springs from Eibach ( Mazda - original item here in Germany ) and Bilsteins from factory.

[@bubbleboy59]

On my NB1 I'm running 15x8 +35 Konig dial-ins, with 225/45r15 Nitto NT01s. I only get a slight rub at full send through a corner, slightly lowered on coilovers

[@StingrayOfficial]

As a recent NB owner I am super happy that I found your channel, every video is awesome. So it turns out that I am obsessed with the 15x9 Advanti S1+ 225/45 fitment on the NB2 with a lowered setup. I have read as much as I can on the subject but still unsure if I need to roll the fenders for a reasonable drop, I reallllly don't want to, the car I bought is unfortunately too nice. Any feedback would be dope.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

It depends on the offset of the wheel, but a 225 can be done on the NB with little to no fender modifications. I have a more recent vid on my channel about installing 15x9 FM Kogeki wheels with 225's, and I haven't modded the fenders yet

[@StingrayOfficial]

@@TheCarPassionChannel dude awesome, i will check it out thx for the reply

[@xxYFKxx]

I’m currently running 15x8 0 offset w/ 205/50 front & 215/50 rear. I had to slightly camber out the setup for me to fully clear my fenders. But in the future I really want to run, 205/40 front & 215/40 rear so I can lower it a little bit more for a cleaner look. I have watched your videos about rolling fenders and thanks to you, my miata looks the way it is now. Haha but fitment industry was the reason for the wheel/tire setup. 😅

[@gavinrichman8610]

My dream setup for my Miata is 13X8 Watanabes with some negative offset and stretched tires. I just want to be a stance boi. (Lol)

[@CatchMeNever]

I have White 15x8 +20 Rota grids on my 1996 Miata. I got them because I always loved your original setup. I need to get a more aggressive roll on my front fenders as well as raise my ride height a bit because I hate the sound of rubbing on top of the fenderwell on hard compression.

[@damon920]

JNC 013 15x8 et20 on 205/50/15 on my Miata NA. Rolled fenders

[@dil6969]

Looks amazing, but this is a little hardcore for me. It's why I ultimately chose 15x7 6ULs with a 195 width tire. For a street car with stock power, this is more than enough and it's pretty much plug-n-play for any year Miata. I have yet to hear or see any rub with completely stock fenders/liners. It doesn't get you too much street cred, but tire options are plenty for a 15" wheel and it looks far better than the stock daises that so many NA6s came with. I also like the extra ground clearance they gave me, because streetcar. In the future, with more disposable income, I could see going to an 8" or even a 9" inch wide wheel. For now, I'm pretty content with the setup.

[@28thEQUINOX]

i run 15x8 195/50s 0 offset on my na. mint fitment could go wider in the rear the front is almost perfect with cut knuckles and a rack spacer, only just rubs the upper

[@davidgeorgy8241]

G'day, I know this is a very late reply to this video but I wanted to get a few people's opinions (btw I found this video really good, Thanks Greg!!). I have a Miata NC (over here in Australia we call it an MX5 btw). On it I've got Yokohama Advan's RGIII 17x8 5/114.3 ET38 Wheels with Bridgestone RE003 225/45 R17's in the Rear and 215/45 R17 at the front (I originally had 225's in the front as well; but I know currently have them as spares because they were rubbing a lot more than now; so I decided to go for a more "stretched" tire with the 215's up front). I am currently running lower tire pressures of 31psi all round because of the rubbing up front and I just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas about how to stop my fronts from rubbing (I believe it could be the inner arch wheel liner?) with a higher pressure like 36psi so I get better tread wear? Any help much appreciated. Dave

[@GianucaSimo]

My na is still a lot high from the ground (with 14inch wheels lol) and i alredy scrape everywhere, rubbing is not my problem

[@nicolashuffman4312]

I'm running 225 R1Rs on 9" 6ULs in the warm months. NB with light roll. No rubbing ever. Note that a Miata on 205's has more tire width per ton than the new Corvette. Bigger tires are more prone to hydroplaning, so maybe don't run them to the cords.

[@bobbybird9433]

Hey Greg! Very useful. I’ve just welded new sills and rear wings into SPJ and flared them to death. The info you give on the front was really useful as I want to run 15x10 as the fatter the wheel the Phatter the car will look. I actually flared all the rear by welding in the new rear fender then I hand built the upper inner arch afterwards so the fender was alot more flexible when I was pushing it out. I guess your recommendation on actually having the wheels first is a great idea. Maybe I’ll do this before I get SPJ painted up. I’m just super pleased I’ll be able to run 10’s not 9’s on this!

[@downto2538]

Ok but what if I'm rubbing on my suspension parts not the fender(specifically the coilover adjustments rings are rubbing on the inside edge of my wheel

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

That's where you may need to add a spacer to get the barrel off of the coilover. But it's important to maintain a minimum of at least 7 threads on the lugs if using slip-on spacers. At least that's what I've always gone by. Otherwise you need either extended studs or studded spacers.

This was a long video to essentially say: "Carbon Miata (not associated) fender flares would be much easier, albeit more expensive, solution to ensuing wheel fitment on your Miata." I love your videos man but dang that's a whole lot of disassembly and reassembly, trial and error, and most importantly time just to squeeze wider wheels. I'll take the easier and sure-thing solution over constant fiddling and worrying option every day.

Yeah I don't like flares so to each his own
