To the OP... bummer but it will all be worth it!
Lol if it took that long your dealer must've been sitting on your order for quite a long time. 14 weeks is pretty bad by most delivery standards

Shane you think it would be ok if I went with 18x9.5 all the way around and 275/35 front and back? Its basically the same as the RTR setup just 18's instead of 19's

That's the setup I believe I may be going with, but not sure on the tire size. I will be doing the same rubber on all four corners, just for rotating purposes. On a side note, cruizin concepts offers tsw wheels, but I have yet to call and ask if they offer these

I did 18x9.5 et 40 with 275/40/18s all around with my TSWs. No problems.

Also, 275/35 is something you typically see with 20s. Check out http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and play around for a bit. You'll see that 275/35/18 is too short compared to 235/55/17 (my stock wheel/tire size).

Alright I think I am going to cancel my order with LRS and order either the TSW's or the RTR's. I am going to sleep on it so I will probably order them tomorrow depending on when LRS sends me a refund.

Alright now I dont mean to "jock" you shane, but I am going with the TSW's. I like the RTR wheels but the tsw's are lighter, come in 18", can get diff sizes, and dont stick out past the fender. I am going to go with 18x9 & 18x9.5 with 255 & 285 Nitto nt-555 rubber =]

you can't do that! once i get something anyone who knows me, seen pics of the car, or talks to me is banned from getting the same stuff i have. You have to return them for a refund and start your search again and ask my permission before you order this time. lol JK

that is the exact setup i have, love it.
