Why can't 20s fit if some of you guys got the 19s to fit. Dont tell me they cant, prove it to me. Has anybody actually bought some and they didn't fit? I want 20s

1exquisitcelica or whoever has 20" wheels on his car. He said he had to get custom suspension to get them to fit. I can't remember if he's on bags or hydraulics though.

Hydraulics just to clarify.

i wonder if i can get a set of twankies under mine?

I think 19's would look great, but anything over that *might* end up looking kinda silly on our cars. But hey, its always good to see something different....so by all means try it if you want, madmods.

i just want to know what size tire to use for speedometer to be still a bit accurate

- 15 inch rims - 195/55/15 tire size ( orginal)
-16 inch rims - ??
- 17 inch 215 /45/17 - ?? or 205 / 40/ 17 or 205/ 45/17
- 18 inch ??
19 inch ???
20 inch ?? !!!

i have 17" but want to go for 18" so what is the tire size ??

I have new 17's with 215/45/17 tires on them, but there about 1.5 inches bigger diamitar then my stock wheels/tires that are on now, when i bought them they assured me that they where the right size for my car, but my current wheels/tires make my speedo accurate how can a bigger diamitar tire be ok, ( i know my speedo is right because i drive by those radar guns that post your speed and its dead on. I think 40 profiiels are right for 17's not 45, and that means that 35's are right for 18's.

Why do you want to put 20's? That's way too much for a celica...even if you think it will look good it just sounds silly. In my honest opinion i think 17's are enough. Not because i have 17's but because i care about performance. Otherwise if you're not into performance as much and are going for looks then go ahead. Even so i believe 18's are the max on our cars...i'm sure they'll look awesome.

Well I had 19's on the girl. I was running a 35 series tire and still had to do some custom work on the back to get them to fit. 20's would fit if you ran a 245/30 with a 38 offset. But boy... that is tight and you still gotta take care of the fender lip on the back quarter panels. Also, 30% of a 245 doesn't give you alot of room. Viper's run 30 series but its 30% of a 300+ size tire which is good enough for them. Hope this helps.

i have a friend selling his 20's. IF i get the celica back im gonna pop a couple on and see what the rear does.
I have 215-35-18x7.5 now, not sure of the offset, but the rear tucks and i can barely get my pinky between the lip and the rim.
If anything, ill just have to dremel out a lil of the inside lip.
The 20's r 8.5, but i have seen 19x9.5? on a celica with bags.

im wanting to know cause i might do it too. im more into looks then performance.

IMO I think 17 or 18's are perfect. 19's are okay, but 20's? That's a bit too much for me. But, if you like it and want it.. go ahead. Everyone has different tastes and likes different things.

Ti, I love your car.

20's would be unique.

bloodrain, that comment you made, and no not the one about the rims, was inapropriate and will not be tolerated on this site. anymore comments like that and you get a warning. 5 warnings and you are off the site

i have 18s.. just ptu them on.. i boguht them from a friend of mine
tires he had on were 225/40/18 in front and 245/40/18 in rear... they fit perfectly, and speedo might be a little off but not by much at all..

I think 20s look dumb. 17 or 18=perfect.

What did he say? I must of missed it.

besides that, Ricki has 19s and they look clean

Gosh... I must be insane for wanting to downgrade to 16's...

That "pimped out" look is getting played out faster than the macarena...

hmmm i dunno mods... 20" might not look too god on the celi, i checked out the other one that was kinked and it was kinda butt. but all the work you do is alwas great so maybe it'll be different ehh? well do what you do bro

I'm with you...I want to get a hold of some cheap, lightweight 16" wheels(Slipstreams maybe...I gotta contact Rota and see if they have the right bolt pattern and offset) once I get some money.
