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!

16 is damn small son, watch them calipers

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!
