just got my first mr2

[pwmr2]

i just picked up my mr2 from the shipyard in hawaii. it came in from cali... i went up to hunt for a clean mr2, after hunting for 3weeks and about 3200 miles later.........i'm a mr2 owner i need some help with my car, hope some one can help.....does anyone know how wide of rims can i fit on my 91mr2?

Are you asking what are good sizes? like for handling/looks? or do you just wanna know the maximum size you can fit in the fender wells?

With the proper offsets, wtth stock suspension, I've seen 8" in front and 10" in rear

If you're looking for a nice flush fit, most MR2 owners go with something similar to this:

Front 8" wide +35 offset
Rear 9" wide +35 offset

Slight variations can be made of course, but this will bring the rims flush with the fenders. The only thing is, for this to fit, the rear fender lips will have to be rolled.

If you're wondering, my car has the following

Enkei RP-02 rims
Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires

F 17x8 +40 215/40/17
R 17x9 +35 245/40/17

Hope that helps. Best of luck with your new 2!
