I've seen an MR2 with RX8 wheels...didnt work imho. The wheel style is too modern for the car.

[jockmitch]

hmm if they fit i jave a spare set of Probe alloys in the garage that i might give a try

[jdbecks]

they do fit, if you search on mr2oc, theres quite a few running around. IRRC u need spacers, RX7 stock wheels look really good on mr2 imho

[bill]

i saw some nice oz racing wheels on an rx8 today, think they where a limited edition rx8, i imagine they would look well on an mr2

[Madmattyturner]

ill get a picture up now... only have the one tho. i think it looks ace!!

Loving your car dude, what kit is that you got and the rear wing. I got a standard GT needs pepping up looks wise.

[Madmattyturner]

oh thats not mine mate, my mr2 is lambo candy apply blue. that was my brother in laws, very nice mr2 rev 2. its a veilside rear bumper and veilside spoiler or a kind, my car is similar however. thanks for the comment

RX7 alloys are better

see the link, i have rx8 wheels on mine, i wouldn't even bother to be honest, i had to fit extended wheel studs to the front and 18mm spacers and get new nuts, the rears are fine but sit a bit too far under the arch in my opinion, really not worth it, only reason i shoved them on is because i had the wheels spare from my rx8

What's the diameter, width and offset of standard RX8 alloys anyway?

i think they are 8 inch wide, the offset if i remember is ET50, i have 18mm spacers and it JUST clears the strut(i have standard springs), it really is a massive pain in the blllx!!!

[Race Idiot]

The FD wheels are meant to be able to fit some serious tyre under em, I dunno they look more period correct on the MR2 than the RX8 wheels and at least they are staggered I think.

[Kongaroo]

Sheppy - were your RX8 alloys 18" diameter? If they are then I agree it does sound a lot of effort to fit a non-staggered set of 18x8 alloys.

Race - I seem to recall that the standard RX7 FD wheels 16x8 ET50 all around as I had considered buying a set a while back and had looked it up at the time. I may be wrong though.
