Hey, so I have a chance right now to get the 7th gen wheels off of my brother's (sadly totaled) Celica. The only thing I would need would be new tires since the ones that the dealership put on them are waaay too big for our cars. They rubbed like no other when he cornered in his '94.

My question, especially to those of you that currently have or have had experience with 7th gen wheels, is what size is going to fit best without rubbing and also still has options for good all season tires? Mine is a '97 GT, stock suspension.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

No problems at all with 245 on 6.5" Rim?

Nope non at all I actually like it with a slightly taller and wider tire in the rear
Gives it a slight rake but not so much of one to affect handling

Heres how it looks


size of the rim is "Recomended" Like a 275-60-15 isn't supposed to work on a 15x6 and is supposedly not "safe" yet my father has run that combo for over 20 years with no problems at all and he drives the car hard too
