This is actually covered in the wheel threads...the critical piece of info missing here is the offset. Assuming your offset is about 48 or 50mm then those will fit your stock MX5 fenders without rub.

Hi 99leeric

Could you post some pictures including closeups of your new wheels once they are on your car. I would be interested to see how they look!

Thanks
Bryan

Brian, thanks for responding...i know they were covered in the wheel thread but i kept geting bits and bites and wanted confirmation from you... since you know best. my offset is 50mm so i should be fine...
also is it true that Eibach's actually lower only 0.75" whereas they state 1.5" in the F and 1.3" in the rear.. they lower less than what they advertise?

i'd like to start ordering from you... however i'm located in Canada... have you had customers complain about the duties when ordering from you

Thanks again for all your help...

catshark - will post once i get them on :)

Most of the duty/brokerage issues in shipping to Canada center around UPS brokerage rates. We ship most items FED EX these days.... Also, many Canadians use our online system to ship to a mail drop on the US side of the border for pickup.

Forget the pictures, I'm also in Toronto, give me a shout when you have the wheels on! I'd like to see them in person if you don't mind showing them off.

I think, the best Volk Racing wheels for us are the G2, RE-30 and CE-28N, because they all have the 18x9 5x114.3 with +50mm offset... Those VR wheels are pure s-e-x ! :P
