nope. its was 100% fine

If i get the 7.5's or even 7's im just trying to decide on tire sizes and whether or not i want a little stretch...
i was thinking for either of the 7 sizes i could do a 205/55/15 and have some nice beef to my tire finally
#504
Well I totally would go with 9's and 8's but its a bit agressive for me since its just a dd, and on top of that i dont have the camber you do. I was looking more towards the 7.5's all around...i want to be able to rotate them without worrying about tire direction and staggered widths...

If you want to rotate and not worry, Id just get the 8s. looks great and plenty of meat and not too over board. lots of tire choices!
if you plan on staying with the L15 with no FI, the 7s will work perfect too.
all in all, i would just get the 8s.

if you are going to get 7.5, go ahead and get the 8s, you will not regret and tires are cheap. for an 8 get 205/50/15. its the fastest tire combo for that wheel size per spec miata real racers. also, if you want even cheaper, get the 7" and use a 195/50/15. same rule applies to them.

the 55 is a bit tall and will increase the rub chance for sure. also, its probly a little bit softer and more sloppy feeling. what kind of tires you want? i forgot to ask that, i naturally assume extreme summer tires. .
#507
i think im going to run into clearance issues with an 8" +36 up front...its 7mm less inner clearance and 19 more outer than what i have now...
And if not a 55 on a 205 how about a 215/50?
#509
here is what the indifference in oem wheel vs my front wheels now. I dont rub at all and i track this thing where the suspension compresses the most.
only mods that could account for this is 1. the fender liner pop up trick, 2. my 12k front springs, 3. -3.0° camber in the front.
here is the comparison pic
Take in mind this program would NOT let me choose 9" wide wheels with a 225 tire. my current setup is 15X9 et 36 with 225/45/15s
so the results would be even more extreme than this. this is kind of like a slightly sugar coated version due to the programs limitations..

If its not possible for me to get that program would you mind plugging in the following data for me
185/55/16 Stock Tire
16x6 +55 Stock Rim
205/55/15 Choice #1
15x7.5 +42 6ul
205/50/15 Choice #2
15x7.5 +42 6ul
#512
#513
I just cant make up my mind between 7's and 7.5's...the 7s are cheaper tho...thats probably whats going to sway me.
#514
if you dont mind me asking, why are you so stuck on the 55s? try the 50s and you will feel very compelled to write me a huge thank you love note and rep me . haha
#516
secondly, that is already a smaller diameter than the stock 185/55/16 and the 205/50 is even smaller still. so instead of getting my car lower to the ground and adding beef id rather add beef and get it back to stock height clearance.
i believe its as such - bold is stock and closest match, blue is current, red is your suggestion
185/55/16
Stock Diameter: 610 mm
Stock Circumf: 1915 mm
205/40/17
Current Diameter: 596 mm
Current Circumf: 1871 mm
205/55/15 - Closest
Future Diameter: 607 mm
Future Circumf: 1906 mm
205/50/15 - Your suggestion
Future Diameter: 587 mm
Future Circumf: 1843 mm

Hey no worries at all, if anything im glad you questioned me because it forced me to actually think about it more...Im sure after my warranty expires I will buy a nice CO system(which i had but had to sell ughhh) and lower the car, add camber and make it much more track friendly and when i do, different tires will be necessary anyway. but i think I will be very happy with some of these 6ul's in a 15x7, unless of course you convince me to get the wider ones lol.
