Hello every1 in 6gc I have couple questions & I think this would have to do with Braking / Suspension / Handling

I never worked on a FWD cars which is sad, On my RWD cars it was always ok to stagger the wheels. Front being 19X8's & rear being 19x11's, well looking at a 6G Celica with a 18x7.5 or 18x8 wheels all around make the rear fender look kind of weird. The fact that there is a big space between the rear fender & the wheel, so I was wonder if I could fit a 18x8.5 or a 18.9 in the rear would it make any diffrence in driving? or would it hurt anything in the car?
If you have tried this I would love to know what would happen & if anyone know what would happen I would really like to know as well.

Thanks 6Gcer's

Oh biggrin.gif your rear fender & the wheel gap looks great ! That is just the look I was looking for so I'm gussing 8.5 in the rear would do. By any chance was the car dropped or do rub fenders when you cross over bumps / pot holes ?
