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?

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 :oops:
Pretty sure its an Air Walker front bumper. It came on the car from Japan.

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

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
