mr-s wheel lug pattern?

[sr5punk]

hey guys was wondering if someone could tell me the lug pattern for the us-spec mr-s? is it 4X114.3 or 4X100? thanks!

yeah the lug pattern for the MR2 spyder from 2000-2005 is a 4x100 with a 42mm offset. what are you looking to do?

well i am looking to get the mr-s and was thinking of getting some rota auto-x wheels for it. and i was wondering if the old aw11 3 spoke rims would fit on it as well becuase i really like the looks of those. just havent seen it on an mr-s yet. . although the rotas have a +40 mm offset. would that require spacers to make up the extra 2 mm or how does that work?

I believe +42 compared to +40 would make the rim stick OUT 2mm more.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

no you are correct it is just the distance that it is sticking out that is all. so there really isnt going to be any noticable difference between the 42mm and the 40mm offset. Yeah i think that would look good on that u havnt seen that setup either should be interesting get some pics up if you do it
hope we helped

I don't think a 4 spoke rim will look good on an mr-2. why not get a 6 spoke or 8 spoke rims instead. just my two cents.

thanks for all the help guys. the extra 2 mm wont rub will they? all this is for future reference!

[MR2Jedi]

I doubt it. 2mm is hardly even noticable....^

Yeha i htink it looks pretty good. i dont think that you should go with anything that is over a 5 spoke on a MR2 i have a set of TSW Kayilamis and i like them i htink they look good but i dont think that they fit a mr 2 but then again rims are all personal preff. I say go for it looks good to me. no your 2mm arent going to make a difference in rubbing

[sr5punk]

awesome! thanks for all of the help guys. now i just need to save up for the mrs. although i did want to know, how many of you guys that own the mr-s are over 6' and still seat comfortably in the car? i havent sat in one yet. i am going to go look this weekend and see.

I'm only 5'8" and I had to "learn" how to get in and out of it. Once you're in it's very comfortable. A cockpit feeling. Of course, with the roof down, plenty of head room. I don't even like driving it with the roof up. Horrible blind spots on both sides when looking back to back up. Especially out of a parking stall and lane changes. be carefull.

lol for being 5'8" do you have the seat all the way back and in the full upright position?

You're not refering to my sig are you? My head isn't really that big !LOL..I drive with the seat slightly reclined and about 3/4 the way back. So my arms are about 80 % extended and same thing with my legs. Comfy but everything is easily with in controlable reach.

lol think someone around 6'2" would be able to fit comfortably? i sat in an early model miata and when i stepped on te clutch my legs were in the steering wheel. i dont want that to be the case with the mr-s. i have a friend with a second gen mr2 and it has pleanty of room. i am all legs and would hate to not be able to get this car cuz i am a tall bitch!
