[Mk2] [NA] Et20 wheels on mr2

[andy bird]

Hi all

Is anyone running et20 or lower wheels on their mr2 with standard arches but maybe rolled?

Ive got some 16" borbets going on mine in et20 and im interested in how much work its going to be

It'll also depend on the width of the wheels, this MR2 wheel calculator should help.

Spacers for the rear ... and tyre choice is key mate .. especially for the front hope the front fit i had 8jj et35 and 215 tyres with a 3mm spacer

The rears are 3mm from flush as it is!

The fronts stick out 9 mm apparently but I think it will be ok as the tyre is only a 205. I will pull the arch slightly when I roll it too and if necessary add alittle camber

Haha i cut mine ... sorry for the confusion



Whats key is the fronts fit ... rears will be fine

[2mad]

Just did the gorden thing ..


my results ..

Your proposed front wheel will be 2.35 mm farther out than flush (flush offset: 35.35).
Your proposed rear wheel will be 8.35 mm farther out than flush (flush offset: 35.35).


I wouldnt want to have the fronts any farther out than that, 9mm out is to much imho... sorry

Add some camber and your problems are solved.

8JJ et20 front Jim .. if so i'll eat my words .. yours is one of my favorite stanced members cars


I suck

[jimGTS]

Yep 8j

That calculator is very good but won't take into account any additional camber you may (and should) want to add.
Camber will pull in the top of the wheel obviously and it won't look so 'stick out' as the calculator suggests.

I'm just gutted my rpf1s arnt as aggressive offset wise. As I would have went with the same spec if I had a choice.
I had to lower the camber to -1.5 camber just to fit on the et35 and that is super crazy tight with parada spec 2 tyres which come out wider than my eagle f1s in the same specs which I wasn't expecting!

[2mad]

Well as promised .. words are being eaten .. got any pics Jim of your old wheels .

[jimGTS]

Should be plenty in my project section and also wheels for sale section.

Hmm, not sure on that one, I punched the numbers in for the back wheels that are on mine at the min (9.5x18 et23, not the proper wheels for the car, obviously, just ones to roll it about on) and it says they're sticking out nearly 19mm from the bodywork, so either he doesn't understand what flush means, or its wrong.
