UPDATE 11/09
After I ordered my 2016 ND MX-5 Shop Car, I immediately knew that I would change the suspension on it because I didn’t like the huge wheel gap from factory.

As much as it was easy to drive it everywhere and not care about clearance over bumps and driving fast over bad roads, I just thought it looked bad.
It became even worse when I installed my 17x8 Advan RZ coupled with 215/40R17 tires :

(I only took one picture right after the installation. I didn’t take other as it just looked goofy.)
Installing coilovers on the 2016 ND Roadster is really a piece of cake. Get a friend who has power tools, follow these instructions and you’ll be done within a few hours. Adjustment takes a bit longer, but that depends on everyone. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures of my OEM wheels with the lowered suspension, but it’s easy to imagine. The wheels won’t stick out and will be very narrow inside the fenders; not the look I was aiming for.
After installing the [U]Cusco Street Zero Coilovers[/U], everyone who saw my car first and then were just AMAZED. Holy moly, they couldn’t believe how great the car was looking now!

(I can’t believe how aggressive the car now looks!)
I was also pretty happy to notice that the 17x8 +35 Advan RZ & Yokohama S.Drive 215/40R17 don’t have any stretch and don’t even rub inside the fenders or anywhere during hard cornering! The wheels also sit perfectly flush with the fenders:

(It did not require any fender work, it just sits within a safe distance of the inner fender and fender “lip”.)
