the front will sit okay-flush but the rears, id run a 20mm spacer to push that sucker out. as far as fender rolling is concerned, it all depends on tire size and how low of a drop you are on. just run it and then roll if needed.

what ^ said except for 15mm spacers for flush, no poke.

if you're buying new wheels might want to just go staggered and get it right off the jump.

i know, but im dead set on these wheels thanks for the input though. so where do you get these spacers from and is there a certain kind that's better than the other?

for spacers i would stick to the major brands: ichiba, eibach, or h&r.

tire size is going to be dependent on how much clearance you need. actually going by you sn you are probably in a 6g and i have no idea on tire or spacer size.

whats your stock tire size? use the miata tire calculator to figure it out.

My A34 Rays are 19x85 ET35 and they are perfectly flush up front. Rears could use about 15mm. As far as tires, assuming you don't go lower than like a 1.5" drop, you will be fine with 245/35/19s, they are perfect profile and a good width.

I'm just hoping weight is not a factor for you, Stern is known to be on the heavier side. I'm not too sure on their build quality however.

Don't get Ichiba. Their studs suck like a ****. I'm on my 7th try and they are giving me the hardest time out of anything i've installed before. They just don't grab on to the hub well at all, and had a few round out on me. Just get the H&R with the correct knurl size for your car. 14.xx I believe.
