October 6, 2004: Test fitting some larger tires.
These are 205/55-14 tires on stock Miata wheels with a +45 offset. They fit but are close at the rear. When I installed my rear fenders, I had to tighten the curve a little at the rear in order to fit them to the body. CMC has since extended the rear section of the body which would allow the fenders to move a little further back. More clearance for big rubber and a more finished look.
