Question on Alignment! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I got a local garage to put on my new tires and run a 4 wheel alignment. Now I'm sitting at home looking at the papers and I see printed at the top 00-03 MR2 spyder. I drive a 91! Guess I will be going back to the shop tomorrow.

With oversize 16X7.5 rims and 225 tires should I be specifying toe and camber to them or should they just follow MR2 spec?

green is green to them...

and tire size doesn't effect alignment... if you lowered the car... then you would need to.

the rear tires of my 1993 mr2 are wearing out too fast. Do I need a wheel alignment. (the tires only have 10,000 miles). Does the mr2 requires wheel alignment?

If you're seeing uneven tire wear, it could be an alignment problem. Inproper tire pressure can also cause uneven wear too.

MR2s eat the inside tread of rear wheels like cookies. It might be relatively normal. What type of tires and how much tread do they have left? Post pics if you can.

Wornout shocks can wear the inside prematurely too.
