What's the offset for MR2 2nd Gen for flushness?

lzylong · 08-10-2009, 05:47 AM

Hey i am new to MR2, i currently own a lexus sc right now and picked up a MR2 as a daily. I want to get some wheels that make the MR2 flush. Let me know what offset makes it flush because i couldn't find any info. Thanks

17x8 +35 Front
17x9 +35 Rears

^perfect size and offsets for mkIIs

^He is right. Here are some more details:
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)
Rear:
17 x 9 35 offset (245 or 255 with some rolling)
Congrats on your purchase and new 2!

I'm going to thread jack (if you don't mind, lzylong) and ask...

What if it were 17x7 up front? Got 17x7s recently and the offsets are 48+. Would 15mm spacers and extended wheel studs work?

7" up front is +23 for flush look, same for 8" out back.
