well guys, is it possible to get 18's on mr2 mk2 without any sort of modification. and if it is required, what needs to be done...

Yes. Depending on tire size and rim offset, you may need to roll the inner fender to prevent rubbing.

yea i was thinking that you'd probably have to roll the fenders..

anyway..do any of you guys know places that sell volk gt-c's for less than $1500? i've looked everywhere and the lowest i found was $1899.

I'm running 17x8(215-35-17) in the front and 18x9(235-35-18) in the rear offset is +35. Had to roll the fender because the tires are sitting about 1/2 inch into the fender. Also have tokiko red and HR lowering springs. These are GT-Ns and I think were about $2000 just for the rims.

This may be a stupid question, but what does offset +35 in the rear mean?

MR2crazybyong · 04-21-2006, 02:20 PM

i have 18s too! and whole lot of mods! hehehe.. thats just because of my extreme offsets. what Dr. J&H is right, it dependes on the size, width and offset of the wheels.

todd0305 · 04-21-2006, 08:32 PM

Thanks MRQ,

My first post in months. I have an update actually. One of my rim is actually new....hahaha. A little sliding acident and had to replace the rear right. Spent about 520 for the rim and a new set of tires for about 600. Some cosmetic damage but nothing major. Could have bout a new set of rims and tires for that price but these look so good. While on the tow truck, everyone was looking at the car. How embarassing.

To semi-charmed, it would take me really long to answer you but I found this instead. If you are still confuse just post another msg. In short more negative offset means the rim will sit more outside the fender, you will need a wide body kit with this setup. More positive means the rim will sit more inside the fender
