I'm looking at purchasing some 16" wheels from a 7th gen Celica to go on my '97 GT w/ alloy wheels, and wanted to know if the 6th gen tires will fit.
I've read that it's a pretty easy swap (and looks good), but do I need to worry about having to buy new tires as well as the rims? Apparently my rims have begun to corrode inside and are causing one tire to leak air because it's not getting a good seal on the lip, and I recently purchased tires - about 5k miles ago and I'm not looking forward to needing to buy new ones along with the 7th gen rims. Anybody? I figure with this being such a common swap, there should be an article on the main site about this.  -Wayne |

I have 205/40/16's. 205/45/16 is stock I believe. Wrong...both sizes are stock for 7th gen GTS... http://www.tirerack.com/tires/SelectTireSi...04&autoModClar= For a 94GT celica the stock size is 205/55/15...the closiest to that you can get for a 16in wheel is 205/50/16. DONT GET 205/40 or 205/45...your car will look retarded unless it is SLAMMED. 205/50/16 works great...you wont need to recalibrate your speedo... It wont be off enough to make any difference that you or the radar can pick up. I actually perfer the 205/55/16 because its alittle more sidewall (fills in the fender gap and rides alittle better) but when your speedo reads 65mph its really like 67mph ....i could care less about that.....WHO DRIVES EXACTLY THE SPEED LIMIT?!?!@
