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 This post has been edited by Project95St202: Sep 30, 2005 - 6:15 PM |

QUOTE(Project95St202 @ Oct 1, 2005 - 8:12 PM) Oh ![]() [right][snapback]340217[/snapback][/right] To bring this back... the fender/wheel gap is not dependent on the width of the wheel... but the offset of the wheels. Celicas can wear as low as mid-high 20's offset without hitting the fender... but they typically will look very flush with low 30's mm offset (stock alloys is something like 36-40mm offset). The reason typical wheels are very tucked looking is because typical wheels are made in a very universal offset (40-48mm). Subbie wheels are of even higher offset... something like 52mm or something so they'll be mega tucked. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
