Re: Favourite Wheels Options
I don't think i've ever wanted a set of wheels more than the want i have for some Volk F Zero wheels in staggered 17". Could not believe when i missed them recently.
Re: Favourite Wheels Options
Bloody hell im loving the double staggered advans like they look the mutts nuts! Would it be stupid to ask if this has any positive or negative affect on handling?
Re: Favourite Wheels Options
Cardhore has a lovely set of 16's for sale at the minute

Cant go wrong with advans, i've got a set of RG's I had powdercoated in gold as the white finish was flaking off.
Also got a set of Rays Mazdaspeed 17s that need a bit of work doing to em.

Re: Favourite Wheels Options
Does anybody know how 9.5j et20 17" will fit on each corner on stock suspension?
Re: Favourite Wheels Options
They'd stick out 22mm at the rear and 34mm at the front

So the answer to how would they fit is "Badly"

I wouldn't say there are any negative effects on handling. As for positives, i'm not sure. I love the way it drives though, on standard suspension bar a set of hks lowering springs.

Cheers, needs a few battle wounds repairing though
Pretty sure its an Air Walker front bumper. It came on the car from Japan.

Nothing a colossal amount of negative camber wouldn't sort out

Re: Favourite Wheels Options
Perfect!
Re: Favourite Wheels Options
I had 8.5j Bridgestone AE034's on previously ET36 all round but with 20mm front spacers / 25mm rear spacers.
I didn't put them there myself but whoever decided it was a good idea should never be allowed to modify cars again lol

Re: Favourite Wheels Options

Re: Favourite Wheels Options
I'm inclined to say are you on Coilovers?
The widest you can go on a MR2 comfortably is 8J front and a fair bit wider on the rears if you wanted.
If you're on coilies you'll greatly reduce the amount of clearance which is when you start running into problems
What you can do is use spacers (Around 5mm I'd imagine tops) although you may then have issues with the studs but you can get around this by buying longer ones instead
I'm imagining you SHOULD be ok with those as the offsets are in the 30's not the 40's so you shouldn't have any issues
However I'd sure there's a fair few members on here who run Lenso D1R's which are also 8/9J Stagger who will likely be able to give you an answer from experience
Hope this helps
