Wheels and Tires??

**celicaracinghun** · 10-04-2007, 12:28 PM

Hey, currently I have stock 16's on my car. I want to put 17's on but im not sure if they would rub or not. The tire size is 205/50 R16 but when i look on a website like wheelnext.com their tire size is 205/40 R16 or 17. Would these fit?

i have 17's on mine and it still turns on a dime. Im actually thinkin about moving up to 18's

**flylice13** · 10-04-2007, 04:07 PM

you can even run 19's if you'd like...TRD makes 19" rims for the celica. with 17's, i'd run 215/40/17...with 18's - 215/40/18 and with 19's - 215/35/19

Thank your guys so much for all the info. Im looking forward to getting new rims maybe this winter but it sucks since they are like toys and i cant play with them till the spring when it gets nice.

Yeah you can run 17's no problem, most likely they are going to be 17X7.5 which will have no rubbing issues. Heck my wheels are 18X8 and I have no rubbing issues.

you can run 7.5 easy. Its when you go to 8 that rubbing issues can occur. if you go up to 19's you can get rubbing issues if you have a lowered suspension setup. I have 18x7.5 with a 2.25-2.5 inch drop and there is no rubbing issues at all.

yeah i got 18" w225. h45 and no rubbin what so ever so your 17 wont rub for sure.

**fastcelicagt22** · 11-20-2007, 10:28 PM

What brands/styles/colors/cost are you considering?

**sittinonvolks** · 11-26-2007, 08:56 AM

Since your car is yellow, I would suggest black or silver.

**celicaracinghun** · 11-27-2007, 05:30 PM

I was thinking black rims. Since i want a black carbon fiber hood i figured black would look the best.

**sittinonvolks** · 11-27-2007, 08:26 PM

Black is really the only good contrasting color, or if you have money get them color matched.
