Your rears and agree you must be looking at 5x114. using your numbers
http://mr2.gordaen.com/wt_calc.php
MR2 (mkii) Flushness:
Your proposed front wheel will be 18.05 mm farther out than flush (flush offset: 48.05).
Your proposed front is 2.05 mm into the suspension!
Your proposed rear wheel will be 5.35 mm farther out than flush (flush offset: 35.35).

Wheel Comparison:
Your proposed front wheel will stick out 53.1 mm farther than your old wheel.
Your proposed rear wheel will stick out 40.4 mm farther than your old wheel.

Speed Comparison:
Old front tire revolutions per kilometer: 535.
New front tire revolutions per kilometer: 527.
New front tire is at 102KPH (63MPH) when spinning at the old tire's 100KPH (62MPH) RPM.
Old rear tire revolutions per kilometer: 525.
New rear tire revolutions per kilometer: 514.
New rear tire is at 102KPH (63MPH) when spinning at the old tire's 100KPH (62MPH) RPM.

Good chance of rubbing unless you have arches rolled.
