I have couple of questions...

what is the blot pattern and offset for the 98 ES?
What other years of mazda have the same pattern and offset with 16 in on them?
What is the max tire size you can go with on a 98 ES with 16?
For those 16 in wheels, what is/are the width? 6? 6.5?
I am thinking 215/45/16, how does that sound?
How much does a set of 16 in OEM wheel go for nowaday?
I used to have a Subaru and they go for $300 with tires (almost new), does that sound about right here?

Thanks in advance!

anyone here?

 

how about?

offset: 42mm
bolt pattern: 4x100
Size: ?
Tire: 215/45/16

 

I have 205/55/15s on my car and no offsets, and I never had any problems. And it even looks almost flush with the car, no offsets needed. It all depends on the rims you are going to use.

 

i am thinking OEM, just bigger in size. I know unsprung weight could be a problem as I increase in size, but that's minor. I Just like to have a bigger footprint. How is the wheel/fender gap with 205/55/15? Would 16 be too big? Do you know what year/model of Mazda with 4x100 and 16? Thanks!

All miatas have 4 x100 patterns. They came with 16 inch rims some model years

This might give you some help.
