Default Using rims smaller than 15 in.

Seems like everyone goes larger with rims (or stays at 15s). Anyone gone to 14s or 13s?

LMAO. NFW I have not seen that one yet, and am not sure if I want to. 15" are small enough. But then again I have never seen any so it may look O.K. But picturing it in my mind=nast sight to see

I too want to go low but with bigger rubber. How about the 14" Toyota Echo Alloys? Not sure if it will clear the calipers. According to tirerack, the centerbore(?) is different between the Echo and xB. :?

I don't think it would work, I'd drop it down, hit the wheel and bend the fender

I don't think the 13 inch wheels would clear the brake calipers either.

You can get a pretty wicked look and stance by running 15x8s up front and 15x9s in the rear. Or even 16x8s up front and 16x9s in the rear.

I have 7spoke 14" Enkeis that came on the 90-93 miatas... too bad they're in a moving truck half way to VA by now... other wise I'd tell you if they clear the caliper... :? I think if you want to run slicks for autocross, 14" would be the way to go...
