What to do, What to do, I'm so confused?...

[Tom_Mazda2]

Hello fellow Mazda2 owners! I'm new to the whole wheel and tire game and I need some help finding the right wheel and tire combo.

I'm thinking about getting a set of Black 15x7.5 6UL 949 racing wheels from Goodwin racing, but the problem is that they sold out all the time this causes limited availability. I'm also planning on getting a set of Bilstein coilovers and dropping my 2 about .5 inches to 1 inch. One last thing, I don't want to go any bigger than 15 inch wheels, or any narrower than 7 inches.

1. So If I can't get the 15x7.5 6UL, what could I get away with running on the Mazda2 in terms of offset? Would something like a 30mm offset be too aggressive for the Mazda2?

2. I need a tire that is good in wet conditions, has good tread life, and is good for the occasional track day. What would you all suggest?

There are a few people running +25 offset with no issues. Also, if you go right to the 949racing.com site, the black 15X7.5 are in stock.

Why not get them from the source? According to their website, they have them in stock now!

Thanks for the help guys. Do you have any suggestions on tires? Like I said before I need a tire with good tread life, good in wet conditions, and good grip on the occasional track day.
