I haven't heard of that happening. Has anyone else experienced this?

By the way, I like your illustration.

I think i need to put a actual picture up to describe this...

I will try to get one up by tonite.

Your tire sizes are fine. that is the standr we most use unless you start lowering the car. Now it all depends on the offset and if you have regular suspension or sport suspension as it a bit lowered. My wheels are 20's as well with the same tire size combo. I was rubbing just a bit in the rear with carrying full load so i had to roll my fenders .
I will leave it to the other fellows here to advise on the offset. i dont even know mine

Post pictures when mounted!

don, i just checked with the tyre size calculator and it says that the perfect fit is 245/30/20 and 275/25/20
not 245/35/20 and 275/30/20.

please check www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and let me have your comments.

How are your radenergies doing? I am thinking of getting the exact same thing. Wanna sell?

Well, here's to hoping that 245/35/20's and 275/30/20's work cause that's what I'm getting. I know a lot of other members are running these also. Some are even using bigger tires than that and say they don't experience any rubbing issues so I don't know. When you think about it, the difference in radius between those two tire sizes is less than a tenth of an inch, which may be all that it takes, but I'm gunna say that I doubt it. Not to mention, if that really is the problem, then rolling your fenders will definitely fix that.
