Can I get some wheel and tire size reccomendatios for my 2014 Mirage? Don't want wheels poking out and touching the fenders at all so it has to be the correct offset.
Will I need to lower it? and if so what coilovers/lowering springs?
Been in the DSM game for a long time and just got a new Mirage! Have had several older ones but I will say, this one is amazing!

If you haven't had a 4-wheel alignment check done on your car, you might want to read this thread before you even think about installing new wheels/tires/springs: Rear Alignment Problem FAQ

I was going to say the same thing. How do you like the Tien coilovers? I currently have Eibach lowering springs but want to upgrade to coilovers soon. Attachment 8463Quote:

Tein coilovers are great just make sure you order them with stiffer springs then what they come with. Also roll your rear fenders so you can lower it more.
Excellent. The ones that come with them are too soft? Your car looks great BTWQuote:

Did you guys notice any major MPG or acceleration losses with the 16x7s?
