good weight ratio/distribution ?

 

Mazda Miata's are 52% front / 48% rear. I got the MX520 to 50/50 with all four corners within 20lbs. I'm shooting for 50/50 on Misinformation.

Wheel mount surface.

 

Oh - I have no idea. I don't care about that dimension. The only one I was worried about is track. The new set up sticks out about 2.5" per side, that's why I'm going to run flares. I was able to make this set up work on the MX520 without flares because the 520 is 4" wider than the 411. I have never measured "wms" on any car.

You can use another dimension, but I find it the easiest for finding offsets for wheels when changing the suspension.

 

Like on my wagon, the rear axle has a WMS to WMS of 53.75 inches (or something like that). I want to put in a Volvo 240 axle which has a WMS to WMS distance of 55.5 inches. Thats a 1.75 inch difference or .875 inch per side, and that translates to 22.2 mm further out the wheel attaches to. So I know a 15x7 +0 fits stock, so a 15x7 +20 should be fairly close, or +25 to play it safe.

 

Its just one way to think of things. And the easiest when at the JY with a tape measure ;)
