Hey guys, I am considering getting some 17"s on my 91 MR2 na. But it doesn't have power steering...

Will the 17"s be a bear to turn?

I do alot of City driving...

Anyone have any experence with this?

Thanks much for any imput...

I would suggest a 215 wide tire ... as long as the rims are not excessively heavy, I do not think you will have a problem.

Thanks much for the imput...

Would you say 215's are ok in the front and larger in the back? Say 235's?

That is exactly what I would recommend.
I run a 215/16 on the fornt and a 235/17 in the rear.
I personally do not like the way a 17" looks on the front of the MR2.

If you get a wide enough rim, you could even go 245 in the back.

Yeah, that would set off the look very well...
Thanks much!

I run 17x7" wheels

205/40 front
225/45 rear

No problems, except with parellel parking ;)

Man, yours is sweet too!

just becareful not to go above 245 for the rear , i had to o with 255 recently because stpuid pirreli stop aking my size for the front (225/35)
so now im running potenzas high performance... 255's will scrape ad u might have to shave off some screws that bolt on the mud guards. Also i have 235's in the front now and lemme tell u thats really pushing it, on lock to lock the wheels def rub the walls... sigh so many problems, anyone wanna trade their rims for a set of SSR Competitions (18/7.5 fr, 18/8.5 rear) ? im up for suggestions heh.

Well I have 17X8's all around an i run 235/45 in the front and 255/40 in the rear with no problems what so ever (i'll try to get a pic). But i do have power steering. If it helps any my friend has a 96 civic with no P/S and heavy 17 and he said after he put them on it was a lot easier to turn even at low speeds that only time i got harder for him is when he came to a complete stop and tried turning while stopped.

These are 215 40 17"s in front with 235 40 17"s in back...

I will have the car back tommarow, can't wait!
