if it all bolts up its gona be supa tight so im guessing a 30 to 35 series in thickness, that may be what you want but i dont advise 19" on the whole, 18" is as big as i would go so have fun with that dude

That will not fit unless you want to do some sawzall modifications of your fenders and suspension.

18s is the biggest that can be fit on an MR2 and even then it looks like a mini-monster truck imo.

ok, dude I draw the line on 18's. 19's what are you thinking? Are they chorme are what?
Please note these are just my personal view on 19's on MR2s, what you do to your own car is your own bussness. Too bad I can not help you there.

19's are too big for the 2. Even with 18's you are losing performance. I'm pretty sure you can sell those rims on Craigslist or something and get a different set of staggered 17's. Here is a little bit of info:

1991 MR2 Turbo Stock
Front: 195/60-14
Rear: 205-60-14

Max with a possiblity of a little rolling of the fenders debating on the suspension you are running (but without cutting or flaring your fenders):
Front:
17 x 8 35 offset (215's)
Rear:
17 x 9 35 offset (245 or 255 with some rolling)
This is debateable taking 'flushness' into consideration and the kind of suspension you running as well as big break kits. But its a general outline. If you have a specific set you are looking at post the details on your thread and someone will chime in.

Look here for a little more info: http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/T...tml#post389742

And btw, welcome to the boards! Congrats on your 2.
