I posted about a month ago asking about people's experience with Konig
15x6.5 Heliums over the original FM BBK. A few people replied they were
running that combination with no difficulty. I confirmed fit for myself by
trying a local Miata owner's set on my car -- a very tight fit, but no
contact. Ordered a set, had RA1's mounted, got them home, put them on and
they interfered with the calipers! I went back to the fellow who's wheels
I'd tried and compared -- the newer Heliums have less radius to the inside
of the spars, causing interference with the brakes. The new Heliums clear
the Goodwin BBK, FWIW. Fortunately for me, I can swap wheels with the other
Miata owner, but thought some of you might want a heads up...
