[Mk2] [Turbo] RX8 wheels on a '2

Post by impaler81 »

Hi all,

I heard that mazda rx8 wheels fit straight on to an mr2. Is this true and if so, any one done it?

I'm interested to see what they would look like as I do like the look of them...

Matt.

He had hyundai coupe wheels on iirc. Certainly weren't rex.

They'll fit, like others have said the offsets might need spacers to make look right. I'm often tempted to put my 350z wheels on the mr2 just to see what they'd look like.
