Hi Brian,
Will the 15x8 20mm offset wheels with 225/14-15 (Nitto NT-01) tires fit the 99-05 Miata without a fender roll with the minimum of -1.5 camber?

Need a little fender roll....that's a LOT of tire.

My mistake, I meant 225/45-15 tire. In that case will the 15x7 +36mm fit?

Yes, with the 36mm offset the 225/45/15 tire will fit the NB fenders, but then you are wasting that tire. Might as well just use 205/50/15 tire if just using 15x7 rim. If you want to put that much tire on the ground and you want it in factory fenders then you really want 15x8 or 15x9 wheels to properly support the sidewalls. See our 35mm Enkei PF01 or our 36mm 15x9 6UL wheels.

Thanks for the info Brian.
I'm currently running 15x8 +40 6UL with 225/45-15 Hankook RS-3 tires and all is well. I just ordered the NT-01s but I also plan to install the Wilwood BBKs I got from you and am not sure that the 6UL +40 wheels will fit with the brakes without spacers. I'm checking what options are out there for the BBK and the 225/45 tires without rolling fenders. I've found that the extra height of the 205/50 tires will rub on my current setup whereas the 225/45 tires will not.

All our 15x8 wheels fit our big brake kit. But since you say '15x8 40mm 6UL', and there is no such fitment, my concern is that perhaps you have 15x7.5 6UL which does not clear the big brakes.

I have the first gen 15x8 +40 6UL which are no longer available. Looks like I'll have to shop for wheels for the BBK. Thanks again!

I don't know if the QC is poor on the paint for the green wheels, but the green I received were almost a wasabi mint creme green. It was pretty effin' ugly.

The color photographs much better than what it actually looks like in person:

So I painted them fluorescent pink...which also doesn't photograph well.
