I've saw a few pictures of MR2's with the 300zx Turbo wheels on and I fancied a set of UK ones as they are slightly wider rears. What are the wheel and tyre sizes on a set of UK TT wheels?

I hate the 17's I have on just now and want to ideally go down in wheel size but go towards standard MR2 rolling diameter, if you know what I mean lol

 

Any help from some wheel guru's would be great! lol :smartass:

Standard UK rears are 16" Diameter 8.5" Wide - 245/45/16

 

Fronts and jap rears are 16" Diameter 7.5" Wide - 225/50/16

Cheers Yowser, the thing I'm worried about is the Zed's seem to run 5mm more profile on the front and the MR2 is the opposite because of the engine placement. Gonna get annoying to keep the standard rolling diameter and pick tyre sizes to suit I think :/

Ideally I fancy some 7j front 8j rear 15" wheels but can't find any second hand ones to save myself and I don't want to buy a new set of wheels when I've got so many sets of wheels sitting about already lol.

15" on a Z, will look a bit odd mate

the profile differnce is due to the width difference - to keep same rolling diameter, rather than engine location.

 

I believe Stock MR2 tyre sizes are :

 

195/55/15 front

225/50/15 rear

 

Staggered just like the Z (wider rear with lower profile)

 

based on those sizes, the stock Z sizes would be a near perfect match for standard rolling diameter.

Ahh I thought it was other way about as the tyres that came on my 17's (on the car) are 45 rear and 40 front. I t may explain some of the absolutely crap handling I've been getting, it just wants to understeer all the time!

Ah.... lol

Ah.... lol

 

Yea I've got 2 set of 19's for the Zed but sadly they dont quite fit the MR2 lol
