Popular community setups

Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.

Rear: 15 × 8 inch, ET25 · 225/45 R15

Width and offset guidance

Offset range

Check the exact setup

There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.

Common width limit

Measure before ordering

A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.

These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.

Clearance notes

Keep front and rear fitments distinct: factory rear wheels are wider and facelift rear wheels also have a larger diameter.
The factory wheel nut torque is 103 Nm; this is also listed by MR2Wiki.
Some original wheels use locating features to discourage front/rear interchange. Check wheel seating when changing wheels.
Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.
