Agree. 17x9 et35. 15.5lbs Added a 3mm spacer to clear the front brakes and running a 255/40/17 tire without any modifications to the fenders at all.
I chose the 17x9 since I like to keep rotational weight down as much as possible. This is easier on the drivetrain and makes the car a little faster. It seemed to me that a 255 sized tire was lightweight, inexpensive and all I needed for compared to anything larger.
For reference , wheel and tire on my scale is 37lbs. A stock bbs with bald 235/45/17 was 40lbs.

Tim's Evo is a great example of a car that was built for numerous things! keep it up man! this thing is a beast
Im actually trying to get a hold of EFI to see if they still make the battery tray. I think my Miata battery is reaching its end and i would like to go up in size now but i need to reposition the battery. hopefully i can get one.

Nice work on the M130.
Did you use an off the shelf GPA/R package from Motec, or a custom package from JRR or similar?
Did RSP end up using a different idle valve such as a Bosch 3-wire instead of the factory 4 wire?
Cheers.

Factory idle valve with the 2 red/yellow wires taken out of the connector.
