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! |

Reminds me of my coworkers car. He's running 245/60/15 on his lil Nissan stanza on a 7" rim. To answer the OP. To stay in factory spec. Run 205/50/16 all around. Rubbing shouldn't be an issue at all since I ran on this setup before on lowering springs. -------------------- |

I was kind of wondering about that today as well. Next thing I'm doing is the KYB GR2s and some lowering springs since mine are just completely shot. Just wasn't sure on how much I can drop before I start getting rubbing problems! Thanks again for your help! |
