tc wheels, noob question Options

[drumbum]

im going to my toyota dealer tomorrow to see if they have any stock tc wheels around. this might be a stupid question but could i change them with my car jack like a flat tire and just go around the whole car. Also will the wheels change the milage of the car or are they the same size or would i have to buy new tires to accommodate this problem. Ive seen people with them on the forum and searched the rides and they seem to have different tires on them.

Thanks

#1, if your going to look for stock tc rims do not do not do not go to the dealership they will charge you an arm and a leg, try looking on craigslist of something, try tc wheels, celica wheels, or use the offset to search, for our cars you need a 5X100 lug pattern, type this in it should yeild results, now in the case of using just the standard screw jack just dont do it, if your going to spend this much on rims and tires at least go to harbor freight or somewhere similar and buy a jack and some stands, your probably looking at about $45 for all of that. but screw jacks suck, and make sure you have the right lug nuts and all of that. do not just go into this job all gung ho and forget a bunch of **** take your time, do it right the first time, wait untill you have everything and get the tires balanced and you probably will need an alignment with the 4 new tires. as for gas mileage it will most likely change .002552 not alot, and remember with these wheels you are adding weight to your car. hope this helps
