Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
Firstly looked on all Mr2 forums can't find the answer I need,
I'm looking at buying new 17" wheels I've got
8j et35 all round at moment f 215/40 r 245/40
Question is will 9j et35 with 245/40/17 go on the rear?
Cars lowered about 40mm on koni inserts
Would I need arches rolling or would they go on with no
Rubbing/catching?
Thanks
I think you might have some rubbing.
I'm running 8J et 33 rears with a 25mm spacer - 225/45/16 and they do scrub occasionally on bumpy corners etc. You could probably get away with just using some camber bolts to bring the top of the wheel in though
EDIT my wheels are sticking out about 1/2" further than you describe. Brainfart, sorry
i have 9inch rears, ET35 17's. I first put on 245x40 and they rubbed so got arches rolled. Now running 255x40 and still no rubbing. Stock suspension but sagging OEM springs lol
it'll still work and with some suspension massaging you can fit 235x40x17 on there for good measure though I have to say 215x40 AD08 are pretty damned square on the 8inch rims I'm using
