  1. Aloha guys just trying to figure out ways I can change the PCD of my car from 5x114.3 to 5x108? Why? Because I drive a car that shares the "poor man's Ferrari" moniker with the Fiat Coupe, and it shares "hairdresser" with many other cars too... I have an '91 Toyota MR2 (SW20) and after a long time of gazing at other cars and articles and such I've decided I want a "period correct" look which kind of goes after the poor man's Ferrari theme but without going too 90s JDM or 70s-80s i.e. Watanabes and Yayois. I think the car really doesn't do the JDM tuner look well and poor mans Ferrari is what I want to do, however I won't be fitting any crazy bodykits. Looks wise I just plan on colour matching my black rubber trim and fitting some sweet 5 spoke wheels with sticky rubber.. Note - perfect fitment has been suggested to me as: Front: 17x8 +35 offset and 215/40R17 Rear: 17x9 +35 offset and 245/35R17 - Wider tyres needed at rear because more weight is at rear and it maintains better traction. Staggered is the way to go for this particular car but some run normal 17x8 all over but personally due to my novice skill level I'd go with staggered. I originally wanted some HRE 505M's, but can't justify buying a set that will cost over 4x what I paid for my car - especially when said car is an NA daily driver and may see occasional track use. PICS: http://www.hrewheels.com/wheels/vintage-series/505m Would buy some of these: http://www.superformance.co.uk/348/wheels.html http://www.superformance.co.uk/308/wheels.html https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=volvo+940+70168&rlz=1C1CHJW_enNZ479NZ479&espv=2&biw=1570&bih=851&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIqZCJlc7oxgIVQeSmCh12QwAa Then there's the issue of getting offset and wheels in the right widths (9-10" rear is a problem) Do I go with spacers, possibly get the fenders flared or "pumped" professionally, wheel adapters, or just put up and go with some 5x114.3s? (I personally would go three spoke ADVAN as I like those more than the thin 5 spokes of today, chunkier ferrari-like 5 spokers have gone out of fashion IMO).
