Tire size for 15 x 7.5 Konig Hexaform Wheels

Hi there,

I just got delivery of some 15 x 7.5 Konig Hexaform wheels for my 1999 NB Miata. Couple of questions:

1. What would be the best and/or largest tire size I should go? I am thinking 205/50 x 15 - is larger doable?

2. Related to this, currently the brakes and suspension are stock. Tho I will upgrade these at some point, currently I just want to mount the wheels and drive. So I want to be sure I won't need to roll the fenders at the moment for 205/50 x 15 or something larger if that is possible.

My usage is mostly street and dry tho may drive in the rain and will likely do an occasional autocross.

Thanks :)

Our favorite choice Continental ECS (ExtremeContactSport), 205/50/15 ....works so good on 15x7.5.

That's plug and play on NB, no fender rolling.

But ... your 15 x 7.5 Hexaforms are +35 offset, yes? Still no fender rolling? Even stock suspension (like my 2005 LS)?
