The original thread got a bit confusing so i'm trying again...

I'm looking into purchasing a set of rims...
Front: 18x8.5 (+35) with 225/45-18
Rear: 18x9.5 (+35) with 275/35-18

- I have (4) Toyo Proxes4 tires in 225/45-18 which are all in good shape which I would mount on the 18x8.5's for the front...
- I was planning on purchasing (2) Proxes4 tires in 275/35-18 to mount on the 18x9.5's for the rear...

Would I be able to run these on my car without any issues? Mainly rolling my fenders?

These are the rims i'm looking at:

That is the same rear wheel set up I have on Tein springs . . . no rubbing at all.

Nice, I also plan on picking up some Tein springs in the future aswell...

I need an answer to this very soon... I'll be searching the forum aswell for the answer, but if anyone knows the answer please let me know in here ASAP...

I know that 18x8.5 front w/ 225/45-18's will fit...
Apparently 18x9.5 rear w/ 275/35-18's will fit...

Can I get away with 18.9.5 front w/ 275/35-18's aswell? Offset is +35 on all wheels...

I want to make an order tomorrow, and would love to go 18x9.5 all around, but do not want to roll my fenders...

I think 285 have been fit under the front fender. But you would need a VERY specific offset AND camber to make it happen.

kwescott and speedeamon32 have done it.

TragicallyHip

Sorry, forgot to mention the offset...
The offset on all four rims is +35...

faboo

soooo....did u end up getting them?

I would LOVE to see them on ur car...they look awesome

TragicallyHip

Thanks Faboo... And yup, I ordered them just before x-mas break and am planning on picking them up on the 5th. (Edge Racing wouldn't ship to Canada, but I know a place about 45 mins away in the US so I sent them there.)

Will take some pics of the rims themselves when I get them... Won't have tires for a little while as i'm looking for the best deal on a particular set... Won't have pics of them on the car until the spring as my car is in NewBrunswick in storage for the winter and i'm in Ontario... lol

TragicallyHip

Just picked them up today... Some quick pics:

Don't let getting the fenders rolled bother you. It's not that big a deal. Just do some searching. Actually, I found a shop in Houston on a S2000 forum that does it. They were really cool about it and kinda liked the car. They specialize in Porsche's and S2000's, but they were very professional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

looks good man. there is a chance you might rub in back but, rolling fenders is no problem. unless you don't have 60-100 bucks to get it done and you don't trust yourself to do it.

TragicallyHip

There is actually a guy in the Ottawa Mazda Club that offered his services when I mentioned it the other day on their forum. (Asked if any local shops do it)

He told me not even to bother shopping around and that he would do it for me for free, has done a pile of them I guess. A few of the guys had him do their Mazda 3's before because apparently no shops in Ottawa will do it lol...

What wheels are those? I didn't see it listed anywhere in the thread. Looks great!

TragicallyHip

They are Raze R74...
You have any pics pf the MR2? I'm a huge fan as I previously had a '92 Celica and always loved the MR2 & ofcourse the 3SGTE
