18" rims
#1
aiight... i got a set of alessio MITO's on my rd2 TIburon... at a size of 17x7.5 (offset 40mm) with 205/40/17 ventus tires on em.... i know the 205 is too small for the width of my wheels but that's wut came in the package deal.... NOW i'm getting a refund check for my taxes.... i wanna know if i can fit a set of 18x7.5 with 225/35/18 tires. My tib is dropped 1.7 inches all the way around with intrax springs.... i get NO tire rub wutsoever because my wheels tuck in nicely,.... now should i keep the 40 mm offset with a 18x7.5 inch wheel or should i change that? I believe i have enogh room to fit the 18's because as it is with the 17's i think i got enough... might have to roll the fenders a lil but that's no problem for me to do. I wanna know if any one with 18's can give me a couple pointers... thanx... if i can't fit the 18's well i'm in the market for some new 17's....

i'm pretty sure w/ a stock set up, you can put 215/35X18's on there. since you've put suspension mods in there, i wouldn't be able to figure out if that would work. those extra 10 mm's (225) could mean a lot. (tires/wheels are my line of work). But, to tell you the truth, i don't think u'll have any problem. i plan on spending my refund on the same thing as you, here are the pics of the rims i'm gettin

here are a couple of links to help you out with tire size,
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
and
http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html
then you must take in to account how much room you have in the wheel well.
hope these links help
