Re: offsets
Standard alloy offset is +45 so all depends on width of wheels, whether lowered, and even what tyres you intend to fit or are fitted.

Whats the width 7J, 7.5J, 8J?
saying that as long as they are 5x114 it looks like they would fit on either sizes above

Re: offsets
17x8.5 are the ones i was curious about , but standard wheels seem to be 17x7.5 +40 offset
so it seems they vary as much as the Mr2s

Re: offsets
with 215/40 front and 225/40 rear tyres you would have a problem with the front wheels hitting the suspension....
Your proposed front wheel will be 4.3 mm tucked in from flush (flush offset: 41.7).
Your proposed front is 11.7 mm into the suspension!/b]
Your proposed rear wheel will be 17 mm tucked in from flush (flush offset: 29).
i`m pretty sure we worked out you would need an et 30 if using 8.5" wheels on the front
please someone correct me if im wrong

+1 works with an 8" wheel and a 35 offset
