Finally installing the Eibachs (US-spec, ~0.8" drop), and doing some alignment tweaking on Wednesday, then have the Roadstersport dual exhaust showing up a few days later.
Figured I'd leave it at that, get my money's worth out of the stock tires, then maybe consider some wider, fancier 17"s next year. But... the recent wheel damage got me thinking... my whole approach to this car is celebrating the down to earth roadster nature of it... and the stock skinny 16"s fit that vibe way more than wider 17"s would (plus, sometimes a little less traction is a lot more fun).
Then I remembered this thread... then I made a quick Photoshop. Wasn't expecting the gunmetal and bronze to work well, but now I'm really intrigued.
I don't know much about aftermarket wheel fitment. The stock wheels are 16x6.5, and these are available in 16x7 with 38mm offset. Tire Rack seems to indicate the stock 195/50-16 tires will fit just fine on these at 16x7, and the Eibachs aren't a drastic drop, so I imagine wheelwell clearance wouldn't be an issue... any thoughts from more wheel-savvy folks?
