heres how the rims look like,sorry for the low quality pic..

Like is there a conversion table for example,
15mm spacers = ?? additional offset

Yes, there is a conversion table, it's in the stickies.

Wheel offset guide.

Basically, first thing you need to know is what offset your current rims are. After that, you need to know where you want your wheels to be. Then just buy the proper spacer. If you go anything thicker than a 10mm spacer, you should use extended wheel studs.

thanks for your help! i didnt know that, i was looking to use 25mm spacer for the rear and 15 for the front... does anybody know a good quality brand and part numbers?

I was going to go with H&R spacers myself because they come with the extended lugs, but you'll have to remove your old studs and put the new ones in. (which isn't a problem for me because I need to replace mine anyways).

An easier way to go is to get a set like these tc sportline spacers. They have the hub centric ring built in, and it's a complete bolt on spacer, so you don't have to remove your old studs at all.

Here is the link for the tc sportline spacers I would recommend for you.
15mm spacer
25mm spacer

**Also, are you running a 96-99 front bra on your Celica?

sweet MaskedMan! i really appreciate your help, and yes the front bra cover is for a 96-99,my uncle found it when the dealership he works at(fletcher jones toyota) was moving from the old building to the new building,the manager told him to throw it in the trash because they couldnt sell it and nobody wanted it so he took it and gave it to me,along with another bra cover for CRV..lol..

Sorry a little thread jacking. ..

this product is probably exactly what im after, tho i have a question for thread size are ours 12x1.5 or 12x1.25? so i can use my stock toyota nuts

oh yeh and it will fit on the celica correct?
and these are hub centric so they wont fly out when i drive right....? lol

Our thread pattern for our cars is M12x1.5, so you should be able to use your stock lug nuts. The hub centric part is just to help align the wheel onto the center of the hub. To keep your wheels from flying off, I recommend fastening your lug nuts down to the proper torque spec. This does not mean to tighten them as tight as humanly possible, or by using an impact gun on full blast . That can cause too much stress on the studs and end up snapping them off. You'll want to torque the wheels down to about 76-80ft lbs.

Expect your wheel bearings to wear out real fast with spacers like that!

Hey masked man, whats the price on a 15mm spacer like the hubcentric one on that site?

The price for a set of 2 15mm spacers would be $99.
The price for a set of 2 25mm spacers would be $119. (incase anyone was wondering about that too)

so im all good to use the 15mm up front and 25 for the rear right? and this will be plug and play?
