Rubbish wheels
What other Toyota wheels fit the MR2 MK2?
Basically my MR2 is going to go in for some major body work and I want to keep my nice shiny alloys away from the dust and paint overspray.
I would like to put some rubbish old steelies or naff alloys on it so they can still move the car about.
So to buy a set of 4 I'm wondering what other Toyota car wheels fit the 5 stud MR2 pattern?

Re: Rubbish wheels
just about anything that has 5 x 114 stud pattern with around ET30-40 offset.
You will need 14" or bigger to fit over the brakes.
Need to make sure the tyres not too tall otherwise they will rub on suspension.
15" = 50 aspect ratio
16" - 45 aspect ratio
17" = 40 aspect ratio
18" = 35 aspect ratio
the other option is 3 x space savers from scrap MR2s (plus yours as well)

Re: Rubbish wheels
Don't forget spigot rings if the CB is larger than 60.1. If it's just for rolling around a workshop you can not bother with them, but if you're going to be driving it any distance with these wheels make sure you get them!

Unless the OP has a rev1 (which isn't specified) then you need 15" wheels to clear rev2+ brakes.peteV6R5 wrote:You will need 14" or bigger to fit over the brakes.
That's a pretty rough rule of thumb, but doesn't actually hold true for the standard 15" tyre sizes! Although in this case, that's not overly important...peteV6R5 wrote:15" = 50 aspect ratio

Re: Rubbish wheels
This link lists all OE wheels with 5x114.3 PCD and 60.1 centre bore, you could fit wheels with a bigger centre bore but if you are driving with them you'd need spigot rings as well.

There are other similar sites if you do a search for 'OEM wheel pcd'
Alternatively I'd see if anyone near you has a spare set of stock wheels kicking around you could borrow or perhaps look for a set of 4 x space save wheels if you just need them to move the car around on.

Re: Rubbish wheels
The spacer saver idea is the best, a wrecker must have a pile of them with new rubber still fitted ! You could also just tape large diameter cardboard circles to your existing wheels if the tyres are near stuffed and you don't care about overspray on just the rubber.
Re: Rubbish wheels
Space saver idea is good one, but assuming Rev 1, no-one wants Rev 1 14" wheels. I picked up a set (with tyres for a quid off eBay). Unf, they've now gone to the great scrappy in the sky, but......

Re: Rubbish wheels
Bargain, I got $90 when mine when to the scrappy years ago. People don't realise how much they are worth in Alloy and are better off scrapping them than trying to sell them.fingers99 wrote:Space saver idea is good one, but assuming Rev 1, no-one wants Rev 1 14" wheels.
