Yep. Will need guards rolled most likely but it should be great.

Best combo if going on the track I would say without going to extreme with guard/fender work.

17x8 +30 (+30 should clear most coilover suspension set ups)
17x9 +35 ( will sit nicely and wont scrub if guards are rolled and can fit quite wide tyre easily (I had a 255s)

Thanks, So 215/40 & 255/40 tyres?

Thanks guys, mainly for track day use with semi. Maybe should look for 8 & 9 with 25-30 offset.

Too aggressive imo. Unless you want serious stretch, excessive negative camber & a hellaflush look.

Fronts will be very tight. depending on the lip size its likely you will poke and have to fit stretched tyres to fit a standard body. The rears will most likely poke out close to 1cm.

As reference, mine are 18x8.5 +29 which is already poking a little and with a 215 tyre is stretched already. the rears are 18x10+34 and are pretty much dead flush.

If you want to race this car, i'd stick with something that you can fit the best possible rubber to.

Your proposed front wheel will be 16.7 mm farther out than flush
Your proposed rear wheel will be 23.05 mm farther out than flush

Hi

I am a newbie to the MR2, just wondering would the following set of rims fit into the standard SW20 body with all guards rolled & BC coilovers?

F: 17 x 8.5 with +25 offset
R: 17 x 10 with +25 offset

I am buying the rims on line and unfortunately I cannot test fit them. Thanks.
