I have a set of alloy wheels off of my 1997 Miata.
They have a set of 185/60-14 Dunlop Tires on them.
I am going to do some autocrossing and I am wondering if these wheels will
fit over the rotors/calipers on my 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata without any
clearance problems.
I am planning on mounting some Hoosier 195/55 racing tires.

Also, what is the fastest a stock Mazdaspeed will go.
I know that theoretically the top speed should be about 130mph in 6th.

I would seriously doubt those rims will fit since your 2004 has the bigger
brakes and the 97 didn't.

I'll also add that top speed doesn't mean a whole lot at an autocross ;)
