S'up fellas....

can someone tell me if this combination of rim and tyre fit on a stock standard 6G

215/40/17

225/45/17

offset of the rim is 42. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

I'd go with 215/40/17 tires if you don't want your speedometer to be off. But be warned, the ride is pretty rough on 40-series tires. You may want to go with 45-series tires if you don't want to feel every crack and bump in the road.

coomer thanks for advice, so u reckon the offset (42) is okay? i got the rims without the rubber and they look pretty wide man, got this feeling its gonna hit sumthing when i chuck it on the car.

You'll be fine with wheels with a +42mm offset. I believe that forkee's 17" Rage Breakers have a +42mm offset, so you may want to check with him or someone who has wheels with that offset just to be completely sure that you won't have any problems.

got em fiited today, 225/45/17 little bit upset cos' the wheel looks pretty small with the profile of the tyres, car looks like a bloody 4X4! photo on the way after i lower the mo'fo. thanks for ur help bro'

I got 215 45 17s on my car, ride is nice, tires dont look that overall huge, but yes it looks like a 4x4...i should get my 1.75" Springs in a few days

changed tyres again, 215/40/17 so much better now, although ride quality isnt all to bad, the change isnt that drastic, car looks much better and i can now lower it, so it sits on its ar$e.

ps. i was told the springs i had on the celica is already low as it is, the guy recommend i compress them cos when i ordered "King Spring"-super lows, both the springs measured about the same height and he said wouldn't make a difference....

any opinions on compressed springs?

compressed springs?...hmmm let me think....NO!!!!

go for the: eibach or intrax or toms



and sizes for 17x7 with 40M are:

215-40-17

or

205-45-17


THESE TWO SIZES ARE THE SAME (REMEMBER 205/215 are not measurements, THEY ARE

percantages - %)

I've got 215-40-17 on 17x8 with 40 offset and it is PERFECT !

Eibach Sportline springs too

I thought 215 was the width of the tire, and 45 was the sidewall percentage (as compared to width).

215 is the width

the eibach and all the pther springs mentioned in the above posts, how much do they cost? im in Australia btw.

I got mine in liquidation for 225$ canadian.
listed at 400$ I think.....
Transfer this in us $...
