Depending on the width...

7J = 215/40/17 Front & 225/40/17 rear

8J = 215/40/17 Front & 235/40/17 rear

Go 18's mate, there's no arch space and no problems in getting them fitted! You'll be happier with the look of them!

Cheers

Oh, and if your feeling rich go BLITZ!!

18's sound cool but what boots sizes would I need for them?

Here's a fantastic site for info on tyre and wheel sizes Wheel & Tyre info

For 17s I thought the correct tyre sizes would be:

205/40/17's Front

245/35/17's Rear

For 8 J's, this would keep the rolling radius spot on.

235/40/17 rear

yep that

I'm running 205/40's all round . No wonder my back end tends to stray.

205 on the back :o :o even as standard they had 215 on the back!

18x8 wheels on mine were booted up with 215/35/18 front and 255/35/18 rears. worked well and looked nice.

I would say go for 17s.

They look just about right IMO and even on 17s the MR2 can become a bit tricky to place at times.

I would imagine 18s to be a bit of a nightmare during certain types of driving!
