I think that the 5 spoke wheels suit the body of the car better.

I like the 17"s acutally.
... usually I would agree with Hector about the 5 spokes, and I still do, but I really like those 17" rims... wow. This post has been edited by KAOS: Oct 29, 2010 - 1:28 PM -------------------- |

I've had both of those sizes and I'm currently on 215/40/17. It still feels smooth and I can take the average pothole. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Do not get a 40 series tire. They don't fill the wheel well, and they have a harsher ride. 45 series is what you need to get.
Like I said above - 225/45-17. Plenty of meat on that size tire. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

I got 225/40/18's and the ride is pretty good. So I'd probably get 215/45's if you get teh 17's just cause teh sidewall on my 18's will be a bit larger then a 40 sidewall with a 215 width, if you know hwat I'm saying. But Its not a bad ride quality at all, just make sure the tires will clear your fenders if you are lowered or else you will have to roll -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

I'm scared of 17" using.
celica handling very good. I do not think to use a low spring. First of all, my celica only ST model (110Hp). 17" wheel 225 tire, loss of performance. I think to use the 16 " - 205/50/16 I'm looking for a different 16" wheel model -------------------- Celica from TURKIYE

It can be lighter though, especially if you are going from the stock rims to aftermarket.
I have a set of 18" that came with my parts car and they are decently lighter than my stocks. I want to run 18/45/215 tires, but it's going to throw my speedo off by 5mph. So if my speedo reads 65mph, then I'm really going 70 mph  18/35/215 isn't going to be a smooth ride but if it's going to keep my speedo correct, then I might have to stay that route.
