So SexciCelicaChikk and I trying to do something different from your average 6th gen. By going to different limits and doing clean custom work that will set her Celi apart from the rest. This inculdes as most have you have seen an outragous audio system, custom body kit(still in the concept stage), and more. But I actually want to put a little focus on the wheels for a moment. She found a set of rims that sparked her insterest and ladies when something sparks "IT SPARKS" Unfortunatly their lowest size tho nice is pushing the envelope quite a bit for most peoples taste, which is what is drawing me closer to liking them as well. So what Im asking for is thoughts, opinions, and ideas wether negative or postive. Question is Do you think this can work? Here's some pics to help with more of a visual idea: The two Rims she's eyeing right now ![]() ![]() Her Celica ![]() ![]() -------------------- From Japan to Texas my st202 follows me.

To make an accurate assessment, you would have to take into account not only the size of the wheels, but also the weight of the tire/wheel combo, the rollout of the tire, the sidewall height of the tire and the quality of the tire. There are too many factors here to consider making an absolute statement about how your car will be affected
Having a larger or smaller rollout(how far the tire rolls in 1 rotation;circumference) will affect braking, acceleration, ride height, suspension and handling Considering rollout is the same, having a larger wheel(and thus a slimmer sidewalled tire) would improve handling while reducing the cushioning effect of the tire. The sidewall flexes, which is obviously a good and a bad thing, but the wheel itself is rigid. Increasing the size of the wheel doesnt exactly make it inherently heavier; the tire sidewall has weight too, but the heaviest part of the wheel(the literal rim)is moved further from the hub and therefor it has a higher moment of inertia. |
