Should I get these wheels?

Johndoe205 · 08-04-2009, 10:44 AM

Ive been looking for a good set of wheels +tires and Iam leaning towards konigs runaways
front will be 17X7 5-114.3 44
Rear will be 17X8 5-114.3 35
my question is with the offset being so big in the front will I need to use spacers? I prefer not to but would like to know if this will work on my 92 mr2 with eibach sportline springs and stock 92 struts?
thanxs!

I would say keep looking for lower offset wheels.

Sportlines drop the car quite a bit (which may also prematurely wear your stock struts), so that +44 7" front might be too close to the suspension depending on your tire width. If you're really keen on the wheels then a 5 to 7 mm spacer will help, rears are fine but I'd keep looking as Dave suggested.

The 7'' +44 should fit, but it's going to look like ass. I would look for lower offset wheels...Konigs are cheap and bend anyways.

Get some wider wheels too.
