Space savers, you mean those skinny spare tyres ?

[BabyDiesel]

Yes sir. I am using only the rim, not the spare tires. The tires on the car were swapped over.

[Arragonis]

Cool. Pics ?

Ask and you shall receive



This is at 36 psi as the shop would not put anymore in there.

I dig the look, honestly. They are 1.5" - 2" narrower than the Mazda Miata rims they are replacing. They will be perfect for 165/65r14 Potenzas, which are the next tire I'll be running.

Haha tell me about it! I am getting lowering springs soon. No wonder The ZX2's Cd is 0.33, huh?

I run similar setup on my Metro, Altima 15"x4" spare rims with 145/65 15" Eco-Conti LRR @ 50 PSI

Did you have the problem of the tire shop trying to talk you out of it?? It has happened to both places I have gone too! How is the setup working for you?
