hey eveyone, i was just wondering if anybody has 18x8.5" wheels on a celica st205? im looking at buying some wheels but they are 8.5" wide. wanted to know if anyone has them that wide and what, if any mods had to be done to the car to make them fit.
im sick of searching for rims for my car and just being dissapointed that they dont fit. |

yeah the offset that they are going to give me is going to be either 35 or 40. i told the guy to give me 40 but i'll see what they give me. i was also told that i might have to roll the fenders. if it means i have to do that, i guess i will.

35mm would be perfect for a normal 6gc.
I'm assuming it the same for a GT-4. --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

the st205 has different struts and suspension so i think i actually have more room than a normal 6gc does. im just basically worried about steering and if it is gonna rub when i turn.

I run 18x8's with no issues.
8.5s should fit, but I have to ask why. -------------------- JDM ST205

well, i went to a car show and put a down payment on a set of rims that the guy said they came in 8 wide. come to find out they only make them in 8.5 wide. this was unfortunatley the third set of rims that i was trying to fit on the car, and i was sick of trying.
so i figured i would ask the opinions of you guys. |

depending on the offset they should fit
if your right around a 35 +/- a few mm you should be fine |

Has anyone tried Subaru STi rims? It'll clear the calipers for sure, but will it rub?
