My twins

These ought to get some double takes once the one on the right is mobile? Got some icky rust around the rear wheels but the rest aint bad for a rust belt car. Those 13's sure look weenie!

Another MInnesotan Motorist!

Is it just me, or is the one on the left noticeably higher?

It is mostly the tires. The back tires of the one on the right are on a higher surface so the front bumper is extra low.

195-70-14's are HUGE compared to stock 13's. You would laugh when placed side to side.

When installed you might even intimidate others as much as this guy and his ride http://www.break.com/usercontent/2007/6 ... 17224.html

I've noticed that a lot of cops are envious of my wagon.....alls I can say is...tough. We can't all be winners. :roll:

Kinda silly question asking if I use 14 inch rims with 14 inch tires. :?

The MR2 rim dimensions are 14x5.5 with 39mm offset.

The mostly worn 185-80-13's on my 84 are at least an inch shorter than the new 195-70-14's

Hooray it lives! Engine/clutch job wrapped up last night. Put the MR2 wheels with the new 195-70-14's on today too. Now except for a pinstripe and the big TOYOTA on the upper right of the hatch, it is identical to my old 85. Runs/drives good(for stock carb and no vacuum advance). Better yet the trans feels excellent and makes zero noise. Best trans out of 4 so far I would say.

Definitely worth the price of "get it outta here" :D
