Just a quick question.
I've decided to go with 16" rims on my 95 MX-5 with Yokohama Avid H4S rubber.
Question; will 16" screw up my cornering geometry or will it improve it? Other than a harsher ride just cruising, any pitfalls here?
Appreciate any input.
It won't make any geometry difference, as long as the offset is close to stock.
SInce you're getting cheap tires, I assume you're also getting cheap wheels. Cheap 16-inchers are bound to be heavy, which will hurt ride, grip, acceleration, and braking. A lower-profile tire offers less protection to the wheel from road hazards, so it's easier to bend a rim.
But the differences probably won't be huge. With those tires, you may not even notice.
