Driving a 91 MR2 without P/S and 17" rims?
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?

Re: Driving a 91 MR2 without P/S and 17" rims?
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!

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.
