I went from a size 225/40 to a 205/50 Sunny (no name) tire and lowered it down to the very last thread on the coils. The camber was hand adjusted to what I think is max, I'm going to see if I can get some more at the alignment shop.
I pulled the rear fenders a little. The driver rear has bondo right where the lip would fold over. Im rubbing a good amount in the rear, both driver, and passenger.
Not enough clearance, so I resorted to the "phone book" pull method. In reality, I wrapped the handle of a hammer with a ULine catalog. To ensure that I didn't crack the paint, I heated the entire fender up, front and back using a heat gun.
Stage 4: Swapped Tires and a Little More Pull
I swapped my tires to a 195/50 in a Falken 912. My friend and I continued to pull the fenders a little more for added clearance. No rubbing whatsoever.
Thanks man! hahaha "basa"! I'm slowly working on it, I liked 17's, but I wanted to try something a little different. My only gripe over 16's are the limited tire options you have. It was a pain to locate the tire sizes I needed in such a short amount of time.

How hard would it be to fit 17x9.5-2 front 17x10.5-2 rear? there's a set I'm interested in and wanted to know if this would be too aggressive or not. I'm willing to camber it out and roll/pull fenders on stock body. any info would be appreciated thanks.

I never liked 18's on MR2's, then I bought 18's for the back to match my 17's up front, then I bought 18's for the front I like them so much. Depends on the wheel too. Some spokes go to the edge and make it look bigger. The BBS's don't have the appearance as much. That blue car is so nice to look at... nice job!
Hey guys i'm thinking about changing my rims from the te37 reps to the ce28 reps. Made by the same company. Only thinking about doing it because they're giving me a deal for using my car on their ad.

The color on the bottom picture isn't going to be the color of the rims..it's just the only pix i found that i could photoshop lol. What you guys think? Keep the 37s or go with the 28s? Just want to hear some opinions, thanks in advance!

I like the original ones you already have on there. CE28Ns are too "busy" for my taste. But i'd take this opinion with a grain of salt. I have poor taste anyway.
