5th Gen Celica with 16's

**glad76** · 06-09-2005, 09:37 AM

Hey guys,

I just picked up some 7th gen rims and am looking to replace the rubber i was just wondering what other 5th gens are running. They are the 16" rim. Let me know sizes of tires and also what brands you recommend. I'm looking at a summer tire and possibly an all season.

By using the tire size calculator the following sizes seem to be ok:

205/50/16
215/45/16
225/45/16

Thanks

I'm running NS1, 205-50-16 I think. 215-45-16 is best, next is 205-45-16. Stock 7th gen tire is too thick. Car looks much better and lower with lower profile tire.

215/45/16 sounds good. It shouldn't rub if i lower my car right? Any suggestions on brands?

i was calling around for tires and that tire is hard to find. I was looking into either 205/45/16 or 225/45/16. Anyone know any good places for tires?

225/45/16 do it.... lots of scrub but lots of hook
