Well I was gonna post "I'm the resident topless (jeep) guy". 33s are hardly a large tire when you're talking about wheeling. 36s is where it really starts.

I used to be the resident mini tits, but then I sold my goat. Mr. Bovine and Jessip remain of the hoofed and uddered variety.

Large is a relative term there, since my civic uses 14s... :lol:

And the Miata of the OP is probably similar

Apples to oranges mang.

The size of your wheel is 14. I run 15 inch wheels. The overall size of your tire is closer to 25 or so. 33s reference to overall tire size and don't necessarily directly relate to size of wheel.

One of the things that I love about this place is how quickly threads get off topic :lol: And Paul, it matters not to me, since I'm a girl, and I'm not much into beer :mrgreen:

There goes the neighborhood. Folks will stops cussing, stop posting risque materials, start fixing drips so their driveways aren't spotted, property values will soar and us current degenerates won't be able to afford to live here any more. Who let Twiggy in here anyway?!!!

Translation of RP: "Hi, welcome to the forums! There are more males here than females, and so we occasionally let our manliness take over the forum instead of our usual tact and good sense. We hope you enjoy your time here, we're here to help in our very odd ways!"



Could be right, could be wrong. Just guessing :lol:

Hmmm, interesting. It seems this thread has just changed themes.

Allow me to introduce myself........nah I'm just foolin'

Since everyone else is giving themselves a title, I'll be the resident Canadian Subie guy.
