Default Finally..!!! but need a little help...

So I've had this set of wheels for awhile... bought used from japan, but never used em. They were meant for my MR2, but I could never find the centercaps so I never mounted em, and went with a different set.



I finally found a good set of the centercaps, after about one and a half years!



So... Imma put these on the xB2.

I need help with tires and offsets tho... The wheels are 16x7 +36 16x8 +37. Will those fit the xB okay? (the wheels are staggered b/c they were SUPPOSED to go on the MR2)

Also, I'm going to use the stock tires for the front, but I THINK i need a bigger size for the 16x8 in the rear. What size should I use? And can I use a different brand/speed rating for the back?

I'm so hyped up about finally being able to use these wheels! :D

Those offsets will be fine.

You should probably go with a 225/50/16 for the rears though, but you can use the stock meats for the front. Oh, and speed ratings don't really matter if you differ. I used a higher speed rating for my front wheels and didn't notice any difference.

Nice wheels!

those rims are way hot, but to small for a 2ndGen...
It may look good if it was slamed and I mean low.

those are really sexy sexy wheels. but the offset may be a bit off...

**off topic. what gen mr2 do you have? my friend has a gen1 with a red-top 4AGE and springs and there is no such thing as understeer or oversteer. just unbelievable amounts of grip..

i have a 1991 MR2T. I love it, but now I love my xB2 too.

And yeah, I know the 16's are too small for the xB... but I gotta get rid of those hubcaps! Or maybe I'll spray em black...

Thanks for the compliments on the wheels!
