I reckon they would fit no problem. Heaps of room between the strut and tire on the insides front and back.

I'm attempting to achieve a clean but mean look. Never been a fan of bodykits on the SW20. I know others will dissagree, I think the sw20 has beautiful lines as it is from the factory. I just have to paint and fit the gen3 front lip i have to complete the 1990 to 1998/99 exterior upgrade.


your car looks great, and i agree that the mr2 body lines don't need much improvement. if you colour match the new lip and lower panels instead of the matt black, the car will look lower and longer. definitely meaner looking.

They are Bronze Rays Engineering TE37
Front: 18 x 7.5 +30
Rear: 18 x 8.5 +40
They are not cheap. I think they go for about $800aud a rim or thereabouts. Plus lugnuts etc

DIET, depends how adventurous you feel. 9" wide front and probably squeeze 11" wide rear, dependent on your suspension setup.

Thought I do a bit of an update on my cars current status.
Having completed the 1000km's run in on the new engine, I dropped the car off to my mechanic to do all the regular checks and adjustments.
I also gave him a list of things to do before it gets dyno'ed.
Install K&N 6" Pod filter with velocity stack
Install oil cooler and thermostat
Redo intercooler piping and mount Tial Q bov
Install 2Ltr oil catch can in the boot
Install Blitz DSBC Spec R boost controller
Install Tial 1Bar wastegate spring

Thast all I can think of right now :)

Anyway he emailed me a couple of pics today of its progress.





He used Hypertune to do the IC pipework and oil cooler mounting.
Very impressed with the mounting of the oil cooler. They made a plate and box to mount it at an angle. They also managed to squeeze in the 'human head sized' K&N filter somehow.

Hopefully the work will be completed in the next week or so, then comes tuning. Hoping for anything over 300rwkw's @ 20psi

Good stuff Nick! I think you won't have any problems going over 300rwkw with that IC setup. I'm quite confident you'll outpower me.
