I'm looking at a set of wheels to go with my Nopro kit and have come across a staggered set, 15 x 9" / 10". I know the MX5 prefers an all square setup, but they are nice wheels, and the right money ... I have the option in the future of buying a pair in 9, or 10, to make it match if needed.
Buying them is the easy bit, in the UK tyre choice is pretty limited so finding some rubber is going to be the hard part ... I want something that is road legal, but pretty aggressive
UK Tyre options ...
225/45/15 Dmack
225/45/15 Toyo R888
225/50/15 Toyo R888
225/50/15 Yokohama A048
245/40/15 Avon
Ideally the 9s would have 225/45/15 and the 10s would have 245/40/15 ... but I can't do that and have a set of matched tyres. The Avons are stupidly expensive and very hard to find, so I think they are out. The R888s or Dmack come in the best size for the 9s, but I'm not sure how they would look on a 10?
Are there any tyres available in the US that I could import that come in better sizes? Ideally something that's road legal, but available in both 25/45 and 245/40.
My other option is go straight to selling the 10s (or the 9s) and make up a set that's matched.
Any ideas or help would be great, pics of 225 / 45 / 15 on a 15 x 10" wheel would be especially good as well.
