RE: Tire size for a Miata running 14" wheels

[Craig Blome <cblome@yahoo.com>]

I used to run 225/50R15's on 15x6 OEM wheels on my '96
Miata M-edition (similar width, 1" larger dia), and
had the same problem with the sway bar rubbing.  I
found that putting 1/4" spacers on the hubs solved
this entirely.  (The '99 Miata alloys should work fine
w/o spacers, as they have -40mm offset instead of
-45mm on the M1's.)
