hello, my car has been heading off to the left, on closer inspection i found the drivers wheel more worn on the inside edge (after having driven my car 5000 miles), (other side is good) so i swapped the worn tyre for one from the rear, and took the car to the garage for tracking (an expensive computerised four wheel geometry by Hunter Engineering, with computer printout stating the toe was out. however after paying, the car still goes to the left when left to steer on its own. The printour stated 16 inch wheels not 17inch, and also that my model was the later celica, would this have any effect on the result / tracking procedure/ adjustments?
any ideas why it goes to the left (tyres are not worn)?? it is an 97 st with 215 wheels,
thanks for any help

hello,
I recently bought my first celica, here it is below - 1.8st.
Been having a few problems with the wheels, I thought the wheels looked nice, they had a few curb marks, but I have since found a large split on the inside of one, and I think 2 are buckled with a 2cm wobble.

What would be the best wheel size for this car - meaning wheels & tyres, currently they are 215 45 r17, which seem very heavy/large to me.
& what is the advantage of alloys over steels? (I know alloys look better, but they are expensive and appear to break easily)
thanks for any help

Chris
