SW20 3sge Wheel Size

[Stu-]

A cousin has bought a tidy 3sge SW20 and is looking at buying a set of 17's for it. Can anyone let me know the common size tyres people run?

We fitted a rim off my Caldina running a 215/45/17 and on the front of the MR2 the tire rubbed on the spring seat so I'm assuming 40 profile 17's should be used?

Cheers

Awesome, cheers for that.

Will have to register to the MR2 forum to read the other two links so will do that tonight.

Ive got 17x8/+36/235-40-17 front, and 17x9/+38/255-40-17 rear on mine. Only rub is the innter guard which isnt fitted properly anyway.

Running 215/40/17 on the front, they only rub when i reverse on hard lock. Offset is around the 35-40 mark.

Mine 17's are sitting super low and don't rub
