Kyo · 07-08-2009, 12:09 AM

as the title states
I am looking for a photo of a
aw11 MR2 with a set of 15x8 XXR 513's on.
(prefer gun meatel, but any color really just need a visual)

I saw one while i was surfing the net at work
but i caint seem to find it again..

Thinking about getting a set for my 1985 mr2 and would like to see what
it would look like first..

Cheers

Not to rain on your parade, but what size, make and model of tires did you propose to run with 15x8's? Presuming race rubber that would require flaring your wheel wells, at the very least.

The plan is ZG flares, if need be.
I am still in the planning stage so i am not sure what tire as of yet.. Any ideas?
is there a tire i could run and not need to run a flare or flaring My wheel wells
I am running at stock height..

Cheers

Use the Tirerack or tire manufacturers' websites to see if a tire is currently being produced that will fit your car. By your picture of the car, it is stock as far as ride height. I'm guessing that at a minimum you will need a 215/xx-15 to fit the width.

Are you going for the look, or are you looking for an optimal performance tire?

Thanks for the info

At this Point in time I am just going for the look,
mabye next year when i find another Daily i might lean more towards performance but for now i just like the look of the xxr 513 rim..

Cheers

personally I think they look like ass being a round banana style spoke on a sharp angle wedge body.

Thanks for the photo it gives me a idea of what it might look like..

i found the photo i was first trying to find this mornig

ol'schoolYota ---> Yeah i can kinda see your point on it being a round style on a wedge car
but it is one of those things where old habbits die hard
I grew up with almost all of our cars sporting RS Watanabe and Minilite rim's.

Cheers
