Want to change wheel size.

[newguy]

Have 2016 with 205/45/17 tires and wheels. Does anyone know or can furnish info, would like to put 15" on. Would ride better and not be as prone to damage.

Unfortunately most 15s won't work....
"Please note that most 15 inch wheels for previous Miata generations do NOT clear the big ND brake calipers, even on cars without the Brembo upgrade, and the effective offset to make 15 inch clear the ND brakes will usually put the tire outside the fender lip (and the fender arch on ND is bigger than prior miatas, doesn't look right with 15 inch anyway).Thus, we do NOT suggest 15 inch choices on the ND."

I believe the NC is the same. :dunno:

You can out on a FM LBBK and that'll fit most 15's, such as Gen 4 6UL's

[DarylSibcy]

15's don't fit over the stock brakes no. LBBK definately fits, FM's standard BBK *might* fit - don't quote me on that...

16" wheels might be the best bet.

Also going to a 15 means a 65 or 70 sidewall to remain near stock tire diameter with a 205 tire.

I would do 16's without hesitation.
