    Miata tire for ITS

    I have a '99 spec Miata that I'm going to run in ITS, what would be the best tire and size to use?

    IT rules require that you run stock wheel size for the make and model.  However 13 or 14 can be substitued with 15's.  ITR allows up to 8.5" wide wheels but keeping the resultant tire sizes under the fenders should prove difficult at best.  I'd bet 245 would be the limit with a generous backspace modification.

     Sold my Spec so I can't test for you.

    15x7 for ITS Miata.  Most of them have a 225/50.  Some run 205/50.
