I have a set of staggered 16" R32 Skyline GTR/GTS-T wheels that I've been keeping as spares. They're in good condition, with just a couple of nicks in places and come with all centre caps.
They have Toyo T1R tyres on with good tread, but the sizes are a little large for an MR2. They are:
Fronts: 16x6.5j 205/55/16
Rears: 16x8j 215/55/16
I also have a set of aluminium spigot rings for the MR2 centre bore.

I'm after £325 for these, just what they owe me. They can be collected from Manchester or Salford. I can also pack these up if somebody would like to book a courier collection.

Tempted by these as I am local!
Why do you say the tyres are too big, do they rub?

Re: Staggered 16" R32 Skyline GTR/GTS-T wheels
I've not tried fitting them yet as my car is too low . They're not massively bigger than what I'm running at the minute though, so you'd probably be ok as long as you have some kind of arch gap at the minute!
I was going to stick new tyres on, but have decided to keep my 17" Enkeis instead.

Decisions decisions.
I currently own three sets of wheels and STILL have the standards 15's on with lots of rubber.....need to have a long look in the mirror!
Good price for these though, I'm sure someone on here was looking to partner up with the guy who took the other set. maybe send them a PM.

Do it, you know you want to
I'd fit them myself but just can't bring myself to part with my gold Enkeis , even though I wish they were 16" for the ride quality.

Re: Staggered 16" R32 Skyline GTR/GTS-T wheels
Ooh... they look nice. I want to replace my tyres for better quality ones but I could just swap out my wheels and sell them on. Especially ideal as I'm considering dropping from 17s to 16s
My car is lowered on PI Racing springs currently - I wouldn't want to buy them only to find out that they rub though... Are they literally too wide/large for standard fitment without rolled arches?

Re: Staggered 16" R32 Skyline GTR/GTS-T wheels
It's not the width that would be the issue, the widths and offsets are perfect for an MR2. It's the tyres currently on the wheels that might be too large.
Here are a couple of links showing the difference in sizes from standard Rev5 wheels to the Skyline ones with current tyres. It looks as though the fronts will be 18.2mm closer to your arches, and the rears 18.45mm closer.

Obviously sticking correct size tyres on would be preferable, and the tyres currently on the wheels are good enough to sell on

I have the same wheels on mine, they are made by Rays, rears are forged magnesium so very light in weight.

Nic - do you know how light they are? can you feel a difference?

The wider magnesium rears are actually lighter than the narrower fronts, can't remember the exact figures but would guess around 6-7kg each for the rears, 7+kg fronts.
I bought the car with 18's fitted so the new 16's made a huge improvement to ride and handling. Really good quality wheels and difficult to find a staggered set like these.

Re: Staggered 16" R32 Skyline GTR/GTS-T wheels
I really want them but if I bought them I couldn't afford to switch the tyres out so they would have to fit
I'm currently running 235/40/ZR17 and 215/40/ZR17 with a slight arch gap so I'm wondering if they would fit
How grippy are the tyres that are fitted?
Fancy couriering them down to me so I can test fit? Paisley Freight accept bookings till 11am

They should physically fit, there will be enough clearance to the arches. The only problem with the tyres that are fitted is the higher 55 aspect ratio which will mean the side wall and rolling radius will be bigger.
Comparison with mine.
