    those are really nice rims, exceptional. I have no idea if they will fit, sorry.

    I'm afraid the offset on those wheels is completely wrong. Standard offset on the Mirage is positive 46mm. A negative offset of 6 mm would have the wheel 52mm outwards from where it needs to be.

    I dont know offsets and I'm really bad at maths, but shouldnt +46mm (stock) replaced with -6mm have a difference of moving the wheel/tire 52mm out?

    I would encourage the OP to use the website below:
    https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Whee...et-Calculator#

    Pushing the wheel out would likely have a "poke" stance. I'm personally not a fan of wheels/tires poking out of the wheel well, but to each his own.

    You are absolutely correct Ares! My finger or my brain must have slipped when I was typing. I've edited my post to the correct math.

    It looks like mitsumi has already installed these and they appear to fit fine.

    Just curious - What size tires are you using on your new 13" rims?


    For those newer to the site, 13" rims don't fit on a 2017+ Mirage due to the larger front brake rotors.

    I am not sure but for reference I put 195/45/16 tires that are 7x16 rims with a 40 offset and no rolling of the fenders needed to be done Name:  49D17431-6247-4106-A081-491E63573A98.jpg
