So in the recent years wheel fitment has become increasingly more popular. So popular that there are forums, blogs and even car shows/events dedicated to getting the perfect wheel fitment. For someone like me who really doesn't know (until recently) about wheels specs such as backspacing and offset. This can all be all kind of overwhelming. Well I came across this section while on the Flush Stance blog that pretty much explained it all. Check it out here. It's pretty awesome because they give you all the formulas to calculate everything out and its really easy even for someone like me who is pretty horrible at math. While you're there check out the Flush Stance blog and CCW wheels as well. Dan From CCW has a pretty sick Miata and most of the cars pictured on the blog have wheels specs along with tire and camber specs too.

willtheyfit.com is the best thing for calculating fitment! just put on a wheel (without tire) and measure your backspace and distance from rim to fender, then use willtheyfit to see how wide a wheel you can put on your car! it even measures rolling diameter, ride height change, speedometer error, etc.
