With a 38mm backspacing, will these work on an NC??
Thanks

I doubt it, what width rim and what tire? I have 48mm offset 16x8's slipstreams and they fit just fine with 225/45's, looks like 235's would also fit wih no metal massaging. I posted some pictures of the fit in the miata.net forum.

Sloopercat is right. With stock tire size you can push out to 42mm or so but if you want to go any wider you need something like a 48mm.

Thanks sloopercat, Brian for the info. Just saw a potential good deal on ebay and wanted to find out for sure before bidding.
I should have been more specific the were 16x8 sorry. But anyway thanks again.

These are the 16x8 48 offset slipstreams w/225/45/16 T1r's. Like I said no glamour shot, storm is going on here.

Brian, I am getting the mid-pipe installed today. Thanks for the support of the NC!
