China Man Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi, My friend has a MR2 turbo and he got a set of oz alloys second hand. I had a look at it and I see he used his old tyres on the new alloys. The alloy itself is smaller than the tyres, I can see the tyre wall with a huge curve and I joked to him that his alloys will never get kerbed with the tyres running that wide. He needed space to fit those alloys and I find from this board that spacer is not a good idea as the wheels size different ruined the handling? Anyway, his Teins super street suspension broke and he is going to get all 4 replace and he is saying that he needs that for his track days. I am thinking why put an expensive set up to be used with 4 too narrow wheels? Please someone tells me if I am right to think that he should get the correct width wheels?

shaf Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 ideally you want a 215 width on the front and 235 or 255 on the rear. profile wise 35 for 18's, 40 for 17's, 45 for 16's etc etc. if that makes any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
