Its the best thing since sliced bread.. when it comes to figuring out rims..

BTW.. at www.1010tires.com you can search by size, pattern, offset and width..

Combine the two and no longer does anyone have to ask the Rim Math question..

Here is a great tire calculator
Tire size calculator
It compares yours speed difference when you use a bigger or small circumference. It tells you Revs/mile as well.

Moderators!

While the Miata.net calculator has been around forever, the one Charles has posted will probably get used alot too, now.
Any chance they could both be made into a sticky in this section?
