Toyota 86 rims on 95 Celica?, will they fit? Options

[Justin73]

My appologies for the simple question all, I'm looking to go to 16inch rims for my 95 Celica and was looking the the Toyota 86 rims. They look great but I'm lead to believe that they come in 16 inch but have a +48 offset? if this is the case, is it possible to put these on my car without too much work? I run King Springs (low) and my current wheels are 17inch with a +38 offset (close to struts but does not touch) they scrape a little when turning and you hit a bump, but otherwise they fit ok.
The offset will look to be a problem, will I have to get the guards rolled or put in spacers?
Any info would br great

Cheers

J

I currently run 235/45/17 so I'm thinking the 205/50/16 should fit without too much hassel.

The tire will not fit. The rim is about 18" at the lip, and the tire won't fit over that. If it does, part of the bead will be overstretched and probably not seal. Not to mention it will not balance easily

Ha you do realize fitting a 16" tire on a 17" rim more than likely won't work. A 235/45R17 will rub on front. Get the 215/45 like he said and lay your head to rest

To run the gt86s wheels you need at least a 5-10mm spacer up front to clear the brake calipers which (at 10mm) is just barely enough to run the 235s. 225s will just barely clear as well with a 5mm spacer.
