Wheels and Tires??

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?

Re: Wheels and Tires??

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

Re: Wheels and Tires??

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.

Re: Wheels and Tires??

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

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

Re: Wheels and Tires??

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