Looking for advice on 17" wheels for 1994 MR2 GT SW20

If you can find any, 225/45ZR16 TOYO t1r is 93w rated.

The cheapest option: Even though your speedo would be 3 kph out,  have you thought  fitting 225/50 R16's to your current wheels. Many choices in that size are 92V/W
 
Another option to keep a staggered set would  be if you could find a set of the stock 15's (15x6 and 15X7)
(Toyo, Falken, Hankook 225/50 R15's are rated at 91V )
 
 
 
 

OK, so my previous post was a bit premature........whilst the TOYO T1s are still advertised by TOYO and Tyrepower, they are discontinued and no stock exists anymore. :-(

Back to the drawing board!!

Thank you Dylmrt, will definitely look at doing a staggered setup now.

Your suggestions are appreciated, but I would prefer something like the Enkei RPF1 in SBC.

Do you retail these with your suggested stagger and offset delivered to WA??

PM me your price :-)

Any luck with split 17 rims ?
Can you recommend a good tyre/wheel person in Perth .
I'm in same boat, either go back to stock 15 wheels or upgrade to 17.

Yes! Found some staggered 17" rims with good tyres, thanks to GT Hardtop.

These are only interim until I get my 17" WORK wheels that are on order - they are staggered 7" on front, 8" on rear with +32 offsets for both.

Bob Jane T Marts at Victoria Park have been really good to me.......but they don't sell wheels for MR2's i.e. they don't have a good range of wheels that cater for staggering. They do have a huge range of tyres though.

I have done all my own research.......checked out what everyone else was buying on here and looked at those brands for something I liked with the right fitment.

Wouldn't call myself an expert, but I am probably one of very few females in Perth who knows about fitting wheels to MR2's!! :-)

I like the look of the 17" wheels, but at the end of the day, it is your decision - at least you can still get the right load tyres for 15".

Maybe something else to keep in mind - many new cars these days are coming standard with 17" wheels, so the tyre manufacturers are going to follow where the demand is......so more of a range for tyres that will suit.

Hope I have been of some help - maybe one of the lads on here might be able to give you pointers for a good wheel shop in Perth for MR2's........however, sometimes ordering over the Internet, having them shipped here is cheaper, and having them installed by a standard wheel and tyre shop (i.e. Bob Jane) is cheaper!
