Brian, do you know the tire and size here?? Looks like a good street setup..

[Brian]

Hard to say for sure because there is so much variation from brand to brand in how wide the tread will be versus the listed size but from the slight stretch of the sidewall my estimate is a 225mm wide, which will fit stock fenders on that 17x9 45mm Enkei. That spread of the 225mm wide tire on a 9 inch gives fantastic sidewall response, contact patch stability, and crisp turn-in. Going up to 235/40/17 would need slight fender roll at that 45mm offset (but would fit stock fenders if you picked a 48 to 50mm offset).

Thanks for the post, that's an awesome looking MX5!
