So, im looking into gettin a set of rims. I found a few sets i like, and i wanna get somethin wider than a 7", at least for the back to fill in the big gap under the wheel well. Any ways, my question is, if i go with a set of 17x8 in the rear and 17x7 in the front, would it make my car handel weird/would it effect the ride because of the diff size rim??

I'm not sure if it would make your car handle or ride weird.
I cant seem to remember that has done this before to a fwd. People normally have bigger wheels at the back if it was rwd. I reckon you should go with 17x8 all round. That way they will fill the gap under the wheel well. --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

I wouldn't have different wheel widths. If you're really concerned about filling up the wheel wells, get wheels with a suitable offset.

I'd say just go 17' X 8 all the way around.

i'd say 17x8 all around too because you can rotate the tires also

Don't mr2s come with different size wheels in the back and front? Why? What's the advantage?

[right][snapback]352372[/snapback][/right] I dont think MR2s have different size wheels. But I could be wrong. MR2 are rear wheel drive so they can have bigger wheels at the back to get better traction. -------------------- 98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

If you had bigger wheels in back you wouldn't be able to rotate your tires like you can with same size all around.
