jaggu1991 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 OK so i put some 22s on my Rx and once i already bought them and tried to put them on i realized that they scrape against the rear struts, i put on a spacer so it doesn't touch anymore but when there is weight in the rear it scrapes. does anyone know of a fix without getting rid of my rims???

lemon Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 You mean the tire is hitting the strut? If that's the case you need a lower profile tire. The 400h came with 235/55/18. To go with a 22 in wheel you need a lot lower profile. Check here http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html to see what works. You could go as wide as 255 (someone on here runs 255, but on 18" wheels - the size you would need to stay within the 3% recommended would be 235/35/22 - I don't know if anyone makes a tire that size. In fact, checking that tire calculator, it looks like 235, 245 or 255 would all have to be 35 profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
