[Mk2] [NA] Wheels for a cosmos blue?

[Ryan S]

As much as I love white wheels I think bronze or gun metal on this colour. And as always Enkei RP01s! The nicest wheel ever made, They look like they were made for an Mr2!

7s and 8s that will be tucked in and not very wide.

You can't say anything about being tucked in based on width alone. And no, unless you're aiming for tyre significantly wider than stock, then 7J/8J is a perfect combination. Certainly for the 205/45/16 225/45/16 AD08s that would be perfect on these wheels, 7J/8J are excellent widths. Wider wheels would mean poorer tyre fitment in those sizes AND more rotating mass (lose/lose situation)

Wider wheels are not necessarily better wheels unless you really have the rubber to mount on them. And, for these wheels, those AD08s will provide more grip than significantly wider street rubber.

7/8J at around ET35 sits nicely:

We know. That's why everyone else is saying they're ideal fitment.

Yokohama AVS model 5:




Actually all the wheels posted so far would look great on any colour 2

My old car these were 17x8 and 17x9 iirc and were spot on.

Fronts perfect ^ rears could come out a tad more.

[synXero]

Yeah I think the rears were et38 instead of the ideal 35.

I have 16x8jj +38, 225/45 on the rear and they do tuck in quite a bit but I wouldn't say it looks bad. I'm old school though. I love my wheels too much to care, although I was looking at hubcentric spacers the other day but it's actually not a big enough gap to fill really.

My Enkeis are 17x9 +38, and 17x8 +38. I think they suit the car perfectly.

That, and I didn't want to roll my arches for +35.
