    949 Racing 15x10 wheels

    Has anybody already ordered these for testing?

    What would it take to get these to fit on early chassis e30, minus the fender work?

    I've never seen a 245/40/15, I like how Emilio lists a tire that doesn't exist.

      275/35/15 would be the tire to have on it :)

            25 or 30mm spacer should get those to clear the front strut. 20mm spacer should fit in the back for more fender clearance.

                I specifically said 245/40 NOT 245/50, I'm not wrong. Sorry to disappoint you.

                    25mm spacers. And cut your fenders off or stretch a 195 hellaflush! ;)

                      Would be nice if they would release e30 specific 15x10 offset/size. Not looking forward to running huge spacers/adapters .... :/

                        I bought these rims and sprung for the 275 hoho's to go on my NA Miata, running first event with this setup at the NJ ProSolo in a few weeks. Pretty excited about seeing how well they work.
