Anybody run/ran 15" wheels at all? From some general researching on the forums it looks like some 15" wheels will fit over the front brakes. It looks like the preferred size for competition on the S are 17s but I actually prefer the looks and driving characteristics of fatty tires and those Miatas seem to run just fine on 15s. 16s look great IMO but tire AND wheel selection in 15s are much better than 16's. 15" wheel AND tire packages are generally lighter than 17 packages.

So anybody have recommendations on a 15" wheel that will fit?

 

15's (at least wide ones) will not fit the rear. I have 16x10s that barely clear the rear lower shock bolt. Similarly, on the front, the 15x10 that I tried did not clear the brakes. Even if it had, it would have touched the LCA at something before full lock.

 

I raced my S2000 for the last few years on 15" x 8" Team Dynamics wheels. I had to massage a few parts to give at least 1/4" clearance.

 

What tires/size are you guys running?

 

I used Hoosier 245/580R15 road race slicks.

 

Do you run same size front and rear? same width wheel too or staggered?
