my car has corolla tsport wheels with winter tyres so looking to replace with ns2r or similar, i believe the rims are 6j so be interested to know what tyre sizes people are running on these rims
The OEM front wheels are 6", are you running 6" width all round? Even the pre facelift cars had slightly wider rears
I found a table with some suggested min and max widths depending on the rim size, I think for a 15x6 wheel most people would be running a 185/55/15 (assuming they are 15s)

Rim width Minimum tyre width Ideal tyre width Maximum tyre width
5.0 Inches 155 mm 165 or 175 mm 185 mm
5.5 Inches 165 mm 175 or 185 mm 195 mm
6.0 Inches 175 mm 185 or 195 mm 205 mm
6.5 Inches 185 mm 195 or 205 mm 215 mm
7.0 Inches 195 mm 205 or 215 mm 225 mm
7.5 Inches 205 mm 215 or 225 mm 235 mm
8.0 Inches 215 mm 225 or 235 mm 245 mm
8.5 Inches 225 mm 235 or 245 mm 255 mm
9.0 Inches 235 mm 245 or 255 mm 265 mm
9.5 Inches 245 mm 255 or 265 mm 275 mm
10.0 Inches 255 mm 265 or 275 mm 285 mm
10.5 Inches 265 mm 275 or 285 mm 295 mm
11.0 Inches 275 mm 285 or 295 mm 305 mm
11.5 Inches 285 mm 295 or 305 mm 315 mm
12.0 Inches 295 mm 305 or 315 mm 325 mm
12.5 Inches 305 mm 315 or 325 mm 335 mm
apparently they are 6Jx16 ET45
am thinking the following sizes would work and keep a slight stagger
195 50 16 front
205 50 16 rear

Holy thread revival batman! I'm actually quite surprised why more people don't have t sport wheels on the mr2, they are identical to the fronts in terms of width and offset (but obviously 16" instead of 15") and the rear would just require a spacer to maintain track width and you could maintain the stagger with tire choice.
What am I missing? Are they super heavy or just not peoples cup of tea?

For me the stock wheels represent the best weight Vs price balance.
I actually prefer the 15" pfl sizes as the car feels more alive.
It's just a personal preference thing for me as I prefer multi spoke wheels

Too much detailing :)
Sorry the original reason for reviving the post was to ask if anyone is currently running them and if so do they have a pic of their car with them on?

I guess you would have loved Wire Wheels, that is until you come to clean them.
I do indeed love wire wheels! and have them on most of my bikes! ;D

Nearly 12 months on, I am planning to put these wheels onto one of my cars. Like yourself, I find these 10 spoke wheels 'pleasing on the eye' and eg can be bought relatively cheaply. The issue of using spacers raises the necessity to use longer bolts to fit the wheel + spacer properly. Currently, I have arrived at this very expensive solution.

No doubt vastly cheaper options are available.
Like you, it would be good to see some specs and piccies from some of the members who undoubtedly will have fitted the tsports

Postage from Germany surely doesn't account for the near £30 difference?
I suppose there has to be a 1st!
