Hi Chris, did you have any issues with your back wheels touching the upper arm at all?

Mmm no, unless I just didn't notice have you any pictures? My wheels are 13" but ET38 iirc. edit: make that ET15 doh! They are 20mm further out than stock mx5 wheels offset.

Ah et15! That explains it, I need some spacers as mine are et30something.

Norton, I'm pretty sure you know, but just to make sure, for 20mm-ish, choose "double bolts" spacers like this one (sorry, French website, but you will find them in the UK for sure)

...or at least some with offset centre bore like these ones.

Hubcentric ones, yes thats my plan. I'm negotiating with an ebay seller at the moment trying to get the price down as they're :eek: expensive!

Only problem with those is MX5 hubs have studs rather than bolts. For 20mm you are going to want hubcentric with longer studs in the hubs.

"Hubcentric", that's the word! Thanks, I'm learning almost every day out here :)

Yes, they are very expensive, and sometimes, it is cheaper to find other wheels with the right ET...

Well, these wheel were £190 for a brand new set of 4 so even if I buy hubs I'll still have saved a bit. I can atleast spacer the wheels to be flush with the rear arches.

Stanced! :rolleyes:

I only went with ET15 so the rears filled the arches but then I decided it wouldn't hurt to go ET 15 on the front for clearance just incase. Can you not send the wheels back and have them send you a different ET set. I tried spacers with the original mx5 wheels and it just made me feel uneasy when fitted. edit: ET15 on the front with 13" wheels just about allowed use of full escort rack steering lock btw.

what width "13s are you running?
