I Picked up a set of TC rims for ultra cheap to go on my 95 gt. I want to lower it with an eibach kit and was wondering a few things: spacers(sizes), tires(size), and shock choice.
I've read that 225/45/17 are recommended. Is that at stock ride height or would that work lowered too? 38mm spacer for rear brings it to 7mm. That too far? Should I get the 25mm? I like hellaflush style, but not necissary. And 15mm for front? Im not sure. Getting rear fenders rolled, I gathered that much. Lastly, what shock is recommended to use with the lowering springs? I appreciate all help and input. Thank you. |

225/45/17 with +45 offset on 17x7 wheels won't rub. You can actually measure how much space you have left at the fender with a tape measure... you should do that. Measure from the tire to different places in the fender (from the highest point of the fender towards the front of the car on the rears, and backwards on the fronts. It'll be close to the strut on the inside though wont it? Most likely it will, yes, but they won't rub on the fender, which is what I meant... so some spacers should take care of that. I think stock GT wheels are 15x6 +38? Will it be close to the strut if I have a spacer/adaptor installed. That'll push it away from the strut also, correct? Then I just don't know about making contact with the fender itself. I know I read a thread on here where someone said to get 225/45/17 on the scion rims and you'd be happy you did. I just don't know what other mods he was running.(lowering and spacers) http://www.celicasport.co.uk/celica-wheel-...-guide-t48.html Found that site that you should check out. The numbers are specifically for 6thgen. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
