Many thanks

Can I ask why? I would wonder what wheels are actually made in 14" with a big enough width?

Edit: RPF1s come in 7J so they would do. What are the plans for the car? With a body kit/lowered an awful lot, I think 14" would look slightly out of place

Brakes may be a tight squeeze under 14s aswell

Dave, yes you can and I did to save weight on track and they worked well. I ran 6.5J and ET35 - they weren't MR2 specific but I bought some spigot rings and they were fine. I think they were from an mx 5 as they have the same 4x100 pattern but the centre bore is larger.

Hope that helps
