Cheers

**jimmy_jammy** · 10-09-2005, 06:28 PM

Anyone, please??

**RN2NVS** · 10-09-2005, 06:44 PM

is there a certain wheel you had in mind
the size 18" will be fine as long as u have proper offset and tire sizes

**jimmy_jammy** · 10-10-2005, 06:40 AM

The wheel im interested in has:
Offset: 45
Stud Diameter: 5x100 and 5x114.3

I believe i need a 6mm spacer for them to fit. But my only concern is... would i be sacrificing handling?, would it rub on full lock etc... and if being lowered in the future will 18s allow it.
Cheers

that offset and bolt pattern are fine.

how wide are the wheels?

18 x ?

**jimmy_jammy** · 10-10-2005, 06:46 PM

18x17.5 is the width.
Cheers

**Ratko** · 10-10-2005, 07:37 PM

should fit no problems. just try and not go over 225 wide for the tires.

**Digitalghost** · 10-12-2005, 02:02 PM

Piece of piss to fit 'em. I was thinking about it but decided to stick with 17's though. Depends if your cruising or racing as to choice :)

**MartinGouda** · 10-12-2005, 06:34 PM

there is either a typo in this thread or someone is rocking dragster wide 18's on a celica... i hope it's the latter

**jimmy_jammy** · 10-12-2005, 06:35 PM

Well i wont be cruising or racing really... I just want it to look real good, and you know have the odd schumacher moment every now and then

**logikol** · 10-13-2005, 01:55 AM

18"s are a nice size, but the design of the wheel will really make you look good.

just remember not to go over 8" width and if you plan on lowering your car make sure you get low pro tires. The higher the tire, the longer the width from the rim to the edge will be...so as stated before, 225 is a nice size.

i have 215/35ZR18's with Tein S.Tech lowering springs (~1.5" F & ~1.8"R) and their fine, no rubbing.

**Celicon** · 10-13-2005, 02:18 PM

I have 225/40/r18 and I get a tiny bit of of rubbing when the wheel is cranked all the way to the left. no rubbing when cranked to the right tho. Car is lowered too.

thats weird...only one sided....did you do your suspension yourself?

**Celicon** · 10-15-2005, 08:16 PM

hahaha....I sure as heck did.

**jimmy_jammy** · 10-16-2005, 06:34 PM

How much could i lower it by, being on the safe side too without no rubbing?

**jimmy_jammy** · 10-18-2005, 06:36 AM

Anyone?

**senson** · 11-14-2006, 01:11 AM

Think it's kinda tread jacking but don't wanna make another tread about the wheel size
anyway is it possible that using 18*8.5, 44offset wheels with 225/40/18 tire on stock height celica GTS? do I need spacer?
