hi all, can 225/40/17 install at the front of MR2 year 1992 (car lowered) ? any rubbing issue ?

because using 4 pcs same size tyre is easier for rotating....

what is the max size for in front ?

h22c: You will need to provide more info such as wheel size incl. dimensions and how much lowering has been done in order to get a better picture.

NOTE: It is NOT RECOMMENDED to use same sizes for the front and rear in view of the MR2s engine and drivetrain layout.

215/45 R17 will be a better bet should you plan to slam it to the ground failing which you will have to cut/shave off inner fender cover.

Assuming you are on offset wheels, what is the rear wheel dimension?

thx a lot for advice.

rim = 4 pcs 8"x17" +38

prefer to use 4 pcs same size tyre for easy rotating.

215/45/17 will be too high.

so, 4pcs 215/40/17 better or 4pcs 225/40/17 better ?

midship: is it possible to shave off inner fender cover? last time i asked someone from the paint shop, they said can't

I got a pair of flip mirror(AE92) + relay + switch.
My car dont have this flip system before.
I want to test all the parts together wether it works or not before installed into the car.
Any idea how to test it?
Any wiring diagram?
