I run 17x7's on my MK1 and love them! Just replaced the BFG's with a set of Goodyears and they are awesome!

They are pretty good sizes for a stock bodied MR2 and won't require any fender mods. Wouldn't clear my aftermarket big brake kit so I'm having to sell them.... my loss your gain. If you do some research these are extremely rare and light wheels. They actually weight ~2lbs less each than my new Advans.


In the pics the car is on 255/40/17's in the back and 215/40/17's in the front. Keeping the same tires on my new wheels (17x9+33, 17x8+35)

I roll with 18s - fronts 225 x 35 and rears 255 x 35.

Body kit was rolled out to accommodate and no probs except for the plastic guard at the front of the wheel bay - I had to modify them to allow for the turning in of the fat fronts.

Gen 3 break upgrade fit no problem.

Cheers,
