absolutely NOT. the lug pattern is different.

[r2slide]

why not? MR2 has 4 lugs as well as corolla ae86 right?

Im not sure about your exact case, but there are two (maybe more) different sizes for 4 lug. Same as for 5 lug, you can get 5 X 100mm or 5 X 114mm. anyways, you should be able to google it or something if you cant get a definite answer on here.

AE86 is like 4X1.25 or 4X 1.14
the AW11 is 4X100

ok i got it. so there's no such thing as adapter so i could put an ae86rims to MR2?

[ToyotaTechGeek]

geez, the adaptor (if you can machine a set or have them fabricated) would cost an exorbinent amount. not only that, but i dunno that physically it would be possible since the spacing on the 4X100 is equally spaced around a 'circle' and the AE86 spacing would overlap that 'base circle'. plus spacer/adaptors as such aren't always a great idea.

ok...sigh... i guess ill stick with compatible rims for MR2...but i really like an old school rims for my 2. im wondering where can i get those...

[ToyotaTechGeek]

get a set of panasports or ultra lights. those are old school. you can also do a set of fittipaldi stars. those are old school. or some bbs meshies. those are old school.
