Mine's 3/5 with 255/55 17's all around. (But I need to replace my cab mounts, so my front will actually be HIGHER )

You MUST be lower G, because your front tires are only 26½" tall, and it looks like your fender is maybe 1" higher...With a 3" Drop Spindle and a 28" tire, my front fenders measure 29"...

UHMM, the rear tire is only 26" tall!! The front is about 3/4 shorter. The wheel fender on the front is about 1" off and the rear about the same. The front springs are really shot. After I add the 1.5 coils and 255 on the front the stance should be about the same.

According to Miata.net's Tire Size Calculator, it says your front's are 26½" and your rears are 27"...

I'm not real sure where this is. I think it is with the 2.5/4, just spindles and shackles and hangers. Currently it has spindles, springs, shackles, hangers and lowered leafs. I'll try and snap a pic of it later today. 235/60/15 up front and 255/60/15 in the rear

Yeah, it's mine. It's got Belltech 4" drop spindles in the front and 6" drop with shackles & hangers in the rear w/ nitro drop shocks in the front and gabriel gas in the rear. The ride is very harsh but who cares, as long as it looks good []

Miata.net's ??? WTF? Consider the source. I know the rear tires are 26" tall because I had to measure them to calibrate my speedo when I put them on. I tried using the 255/60 ratio and yes it does come out to 27" but that is just the calculation. The manufacturing process is something else. If you take a 255/60R15 tire from different manufactures you will find that they will all be different sizes.

G is right, 255/60/15 is the theoreticle size, but the size the manufacter actauly makes it will very. it can also depend on the rims you put them on, putting a tire on a wider rim than it should be on can change the height of the tire. also you gotta think about whether the tires are bran new with 100% tread or pretty worn, that right there can make 1/2 inch difference in overall diameter. my bfg 255/60's are pretty close to 27, but between manufacterers you could figure as much as + or - and inch
