HI I'M LOOKING TO CHANGE MY WHEELS AROUND TO THE SMALLEST RIM SIZE POSSIBLE FOR THE FRONT, I HAVE A 1994 CELICA GT, I WANT TO KNOW IF ANY BODY HAS GOT A 13 INCH RIM TO CLEAR THE BRAKE CALIPER?
OR HAS ANY BODY GOT A 14 INCH TO CLEAR THE CALIPER? MY CALIPER ARE STOCK AND HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED AROUND. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS A 15 INCH RIM. BEFORE I GO AND BUY 2 WHEELS I'D LIKE TO KNOW SO I DONT HAVE TO HASSEL WITH RETURNING THEM. BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT A 5X100 IS RARE. THE REASON I'D LIKE TO GET THE SMALLEST RIM IS BECAUSE I DO DRAG RACING AND I THINK IF YOU CAN GET A BIGGER SIDEWALL THE MORE THE TIRE CAN WRINKLE AND AND AID TO THE TAKE OFF AT THE DRAG STRIP. THE COMPANY THAT I FOUND THAT HAS GOOD WHEELS IS http://www.bassettwheel.com/steel.html THEY MAKE 5X100 WHEELS IN ALL SIZES AND THEY MAKE THEM IN MUCH WIDER WHEELS SO THAT I CAN PUT A FATTER SLICK. I NEED A FATTER SLICK BECAUSE I HAVE A 3SGTE SWAP AND I'M RUNNING A 7 INCH WIDE SLICK NOW BUT I'M JUST SPINNING 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. MY FASTEST TIME DOWN THE 1/4 WAS 13.22 SECONDS |

^ think you mean parallel?
Do you have a strut bar at all? That will help stiffin the front up as well. What rpm are you launching at? If you lower your front you will pull 12s. -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe

If you lower your front you will pull 12s. yes i have a strut bar on the front, i dont have one on the rear, does the rear really even matter? i launch at around 2,000-2,500 rpms This post has been edited by toy8490: Apr 6, 2012 - 7:20 PM |
