Would it be on a stock Celica? Kitted? Lowered?
I prefer the look of the 16s on a Celica w/o a bodykit. Throw some 205/50s and a set of lowererings springs and your good to go! This post has been edited by jdg371: Mar 17, 2007 - 11:18 PM |

here are the reasons i chose 16's.
-personal preference, i like meaty tires. im just waiting for mine to go bald so i can get some 225-50's -better rim protection (try hitting a pothole with 215-35-18) -better ride -cheaper wheels/tires -brakes fill the wheel better -celicas are small so 16" fits it perfect. now if it were the size of a mustang... 17's are ok. 18's are too big for the celica in my opinion unless you like the look, but i dont like the look of very low-pro tires. --------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

for a daily driver in most citys, to large of a rim will give you tire issues, with potholes.
even the 17's with 205/40's are sketchy on potholes. i prefer the 17's with a larger size tire, like a 215/45, or 225/45. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
