Newbie here. Picking up my '99 GT convertible this weekend.
I have the opportunity to grab some 7th gen GT-S wheels and tires cheap. Would they work with the offset and height? Would I need anything extra, such as wheel spacers? I have seen 6th gen with GT-S wheels on the internet. http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images...14001_large.jpg Thanks! -------------------- '99 Triple Black GT Convertible

We have a whole thread for them  Probably the single most common wheel upgrade on here.7th Gen Wheels thread As said above, they just bolt right on. The offset isn't fantastic, so you may want spacers later on - but no need to right away. --------------------  SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

He is asking $200 with "good" tires. I think that I am going to bite.

That's a good deal, as long as the tires match and aren't abnormally worn. Offer $175.

I got the guy down to $150 earlier this week. Sold my XBOX 360 this afternoon to pay for them. He sold them to someone else this morning.
 Ah well. Will keep looking. LOVE my new Celica! Triple black '99 GT Ragtop. This post has been edited by GTMike: Sep 22, 2013 - 2:47 PM -------------------- '99 Triple Black GT Convertible

hehe OP posted a pic of my car
 yeah the the 7th gen wheels fit and ride nice however have a slightly sunken appearance without spacers, the pic in the top post is with slightly oversized wheels 205/55/16 a more common size to reliably find used tires in decent shape and helps negate some of the shrunken wheel look

The thinner spokes make the rims look bigger than just the 1 inch difference. I have all winter to look. Not going to need them until Spring when I have a little body work done and re-painted.
