hehe we have this 18" really showy, but its way to big, what i mean is several times when i not fast enough to avoid the potholes, the tyres will hit the fender, and caused several damage to tyres and fender =(

thus, we decide to get PERFORMANCE rims rather than SHOWY. hehe so 16" or 15" should be nice. if 15" i guess for F 195/55 and R 205/50 right? well now we need to search for the rims. thanks for the help guys and see u guys on sunday =)

cheers

Those tiny tires will be struggling for grip. Trust me i ran that set up before. Go for 16's

Spikyz, You can have 205/45(or 50) up front and 215/40(45) for the rear, or if you really got budget the 225/40 for the rear

try to get lighter rims like the forged ones which will give you less loss of power. Normally Aspirated (should run in 15 to 16s) as a guide. If u r running a turbo MR2 you will have enough torque to run 17". 18" rims are more showy :)
Looks good but minimal power. Have performance but minimal looks.
Your personal choice...

mickey, ur GULF got change the Rims, right ?
so the old Rims wan to sell
