So far I've found that the Rota Grids and JAPAN RACING JR3s are very similar. Anyone had any experience of these, and do they fit the MK2s? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Rota-Grid ... SwwbdWQaCp(As per your ebay ad) on the front of a MK2.RedMR² wrote:MR2 PCD is 5x114.3
Center Bore is 60.1mm
Ideal sizes for the MR2 is:
17x8 front ET35-ET38
17x9 rear ET35-ET38
The lower the offset on the rear, the more chance of requiring the arches rolled.
You'll struggle to get a 17x8.5 ET30
Anything bigger than 60.1 CB and you'll require spigot rings to centralise the wheel onto the hub.
I've always loved those style in a deep or matte bronze.

Ah ok, cheers Red
I wouldn't mind having 16" wheels if it meant I could get some alloys that looked like the TE37s.

No problem mate
As Draven said, 16s are better to have than 17s, but tyres are easier to get hold of for 17s.
Tom's kit will have no bearing other than making wheels look smaller than ones that would normally look ok on a stock MR2, i.e. 16sRedMR² wrote:It's the arches and strut clearance mate.
IT is my thing and it's been a while since I've had one of these 
Hope they fit 
- 18's are a bit big for MR2 imo. Check out Camskill for tyres Did a quick search on these and it would appear they know the MR2 community very well. I'll keep you posted.

You could go crazy and run 17 fronts with 18 rear though, double staggered
I haven't found getting tyres for 16's is too bad, managed to pick up some AD08R's in the right sizes but they are quite pricey.

Very good point!

Quite nice looking!.. Rota grids should be fine but wheels need be be strong as well as pretty However, TE37s are not readily available second hand, even more so in the perfect MR2 fitments.
