NEW WHEELS! (More mods for the MR2! Part 2) 4K

It was probably obvious from the clue we dropped in the last video … we got new wheels for the #ProjectGraySteel MR2! In this episode we talk about some of the extra steps and snags we encountered along the way, but most importantly, you get to see what wheels I got, and how the car looks now!
Shout out to DB8 Motorsports for quick and efficient purchase and shipment of the wheels, to my friend Jessie (@myrx86 on IG) for the ceramic coating work, and to Gabe at Wheel Works in Hayward (he drives an orange 86) for mounting and balancing the tires and wheels!

It's like a tease that this video just showed up on my KZbin home page. Enjoy it! 😎👍 This is the most recent set of MR2 spec T3's that DB8 Chris has ever had up for sale as of Dec. 2022. Thanks for this video - never realized (or expected) that the fronts won't clear Fortune Auto's. I've been all focused on trying to find out how much of a spacer T3's need to clear the Wilhelm brake kit (I'm also on the same suspension setup as you). Thanks for making this video!

Looking cleeeean. Loving my T3's I hope the spacer helps out

Can anyone tell me what size wheels will fit a 1991 Toyota MR2 without having to modify fenders or spacers just stick them on any size? 15-16- or 17

[@86drive86]

TRD T3 Forged 17x7.5 +40 (6.9kg) / 17x8.5 +40 (7.5kg) 215/40 and 245/40/17 as noted in the video, will need a 5-7mm spacer in the front to fit

[@adriangala6930]
