Okay, I'm a newbie at mods. If I have 16"s and that's what the owner's manual says to use, do I have to mod anything else to be able to use 19"s or 20"s? Besides get bigger tires that is...Heinznfries44 said:Just slapped on a pair of 20"s. The rims are 20"x8.5", the tires are 245/40/20. No problems with space or rubbing or anything.... there's lots of room to spare.
Nope, all you need to do is make sure the new 19" or 20 " tires are the right profile. By this I mean the hieght of the tire from the rim to the top of the tread. Stock tires are a 70 series profile I believe, this means 70mm from rim to tread (or 7cm). If you go with 20" rims you will need a 40 series tire (40mm or 4cm from rim to tread).... a 19" rim will probably need a 45 series tire...4.5cm from rim to tread, get it? This is to make sure that your overall tire height with the bigger rims is still within a 7mm +/- range when compared to stock. The idea being to NOT screw up your speedo, odo, and all the other neat gadjets that work with tire rotation. FYI, in case you're not sure, the 70 series or 40 series I talked about..... it's the number you find in the middle of your tire size for example, stock: 215/70/R16 this is 215mm wide by 70mm high, on a 16" rim. What you will want to go with is probably a 255/45/R19, or 245/40/R20........ 19" and 20" rims respectively. Hope this helps, or at least makes sense!! lol peace, J.HawaiianKanaka said:Okay, I'm a newbie at mods.

here's a link to help you decide what size tires and rims you need if you want to go plus-one or two or etc. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.htmlHawaiianKanaka said:Okay, I'm a newbie at mods.

Here in Europe, the front turn signals are clear. What you need to do is take a look on Ebay for clear front turn signals, "euro style" is often used in the description. The bulb is an amber color and the lense is clear. It's just a straight parts swap once you buy the clear signal housings. Good luck, Jamie04rav4 said:on the 2004 models, the front of the car lights is yellow. how did u make it white or clear?
