Awesome build so far! Got me thinking more about what I'm doing to my Miata... Quick question though: What's the offset on those BBS's?

I'm running 15x9 no-name wheels with 0 offset. Aggressive as $&#%! Running the same exact tires (S-Drive 195/50/15). Problem is: they rub. I've even got ghetto-flaired fenders, and they rub. They rub the actual metal on the back of the arch, the moment you turn the wheel.

Any bit of offset will definitely fix it -- I think you need like 20 or 30mm offset to clear the 195/50's.

Damn everybody! Thanks for all the comments

sorry there hasn't been an update, The 2.5" lips have been at the polishing shop for a minute now so I should be picking those up Monday (fingers crossed)

I've been dealing with the engine bullshit, go ahead and give this a little read

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Okay guys check this bullshit out.

First of all..GREAT NEWS. THE CAR FUCKING STARTED!

But it wasn't simply because the "timing" was off like I previously thought it was. I had a friend of mine come check everything out. The picture above shows what the top end looked like when it was at TDC if you know anything about our cars that picture is WRONG. The guys who put my engine together were off 90 degrees on BOTH the intake and exhaust side cams. Meaning that when the car was at TDC the valves were fully open (aka why Fire was coming out of my ITBS)....

so Josh (the mechanic) lined everything up correctly and also took off the aftermarket cam gears (which were also set fucking wrong) and we threw on the OEM gears....and I mean without any hesitation that fucker started. Obviously I couldn't keep it running because for some odd reason my TPS is still not reading and we are focusing 120% on that now.



But the car ran for a glorious 4 seconds and then proceeded to go to WOT in which I cut it off because of the TPS sensor not reading.

I'm so close to having this thing on the road and i'll say this.....I'll never go back to that shop and get work done.
