Aren't 50 profile a bit too big for the rears? 225/45/16 would be closest to correct rolling diameter for speedo, any reason you went 50? Also for front tyres I calculated 205/50/16 would have closest rolling diameter to 225/45/16. I suppose lower profile means less sidewall flex but 205/45/16 have very limited selection of tyres :(

Theres only one option for 225/45/16 tyres, the falken ones which are average at best, whereas 225/50/16 there are heaps.

It fits well. the rear wheels came with potenza re11 so I wasn't just going to waste them :).

Haha that's fair call, I'm running 225/50/16 rear because it came with Kumhos (ASX?) but due to lower rear springs plus the 50 profile, it scrapes the sidewall. Got guard rolled so okay now. But I'll change it when get new rubbers

Hi Lucifer, love the Enkei GTC-01 wheels - I note your offsets above.......have you had any issues with suspension clashes on the fronts? According to the MR2 Wheel and Tyre calculator website you are only getting about 8mm clearance. I still have original suspension on my 94 GT, have you modified yours?

Hey Dr J,

Do you still have your old wheels??

Need to upgrade from my 16" to 17", and your old wheels would look awesome on my white SW20 :-)

If you no longer have them, can you tell me what brand they were?

Cheers, M
