Well cooldog, I think at that size you just draw around the edge with a black marker pen

Elastic band I think

yea to get 19s to fit your gonna have to wrap them in the lowest profile tire you can find. Usually 19s dont fit on our cars without rubber band tires lol

[cwlevie21]

what kinda rims are those?

[Komail]

do 18's fit celicas?

my friend is selling some with these tires: 225/40/18 would that fit?

my oem is: 205/55/15

[Redline08]

yea 18s fit nicely, 19s dont

[philupnorth]

19"'s must fit as these are 20" with 225/35 20’’ Durun Sport-One Tyres

And before anyone asks - that car is on coilovers not on bags

[Redline08]

ok so that car is on 20s but it doesnt go anywhere, if he hits a bump hes screwed and he prolly cant turn for balls. The only way ive seen people fit 19s on a celica were when they cut the fenders, not to hard to do when your fitting in a body kit and painting the whole car like that guy did.

The tire size that will be best for 19" wheels on a Celica would depend on how wide they are.

7" wide should be 215/ 35R-19
7.5 - 8" should be 225/ 35R-19

do 18's fit celicas?

You might rub when you turn the wheel, but if the wheels aren't too wide (8.5" and up) and have a good offset (+39 or +35) you should be fine.

just so i dont have to start a new topic, could someone post some pics of 17's vs 18's?

The problem I find with 18" wheels is that you really cant get a good size tire on it without causing problems with rubbing. I suggest 17" wheels with 215/45R-17 tires. Look at the Yelli Celi - as that is the size tire on there, and Defgeph also has that tire size. It has a very aggressive look IMO.

whats the exact size of the rim? 19x???

you have to find a company that makes tire sizes:

thread width (not sure how wide those wheels are) / 45 / 19's. i know for a fact that dunlop dont make sizes for your rims unless you want sizes like 225/35/19.

it's kinda hard/tricky to find a correct tire size for your setup since the wheel is most likely narrow (8.5inch at most). if you have a wider rim; which i hope you don't, it makes it alot more easier (245/45/19 sp sport tires from dunlop). in other words 245 is too wide and there is no such thing as a 240 tire. 225/35/19 works but the ride will be rough

let me know whats up...

yeah i think he drives it mate.
he wouldn't be that bad off if he hit a bump, I used to have 215/35/18's on my gt and it wasn't that bad. now i've had to go upto 225/45/18s for the gt4 to keep the speedo somewhere near.

however if he's running 20's that are 35 wall, then his speedos gonna be stupidly wrong.
the 20's are 8.9% different to standard, so when he's actually doing 60 his speedos gonna be showing about 54.

Anyway phil, looking on http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp the best size to use that'll keep the speedo fairly standard is 215/30/19. not sure how easy they'll be to get hold of though.

actually I don't think you can get hold of them.

He does indeed drive it, over bumps as well - hundreds of miles sometimes to shows bumps and all.

It doesn't handle that well but then 17s/18s don't handle as well as 15s and most people fit them.

Looks like the standard body to me with minimal alteration apart from the bumpers, skirts and bonnet - I think he took the wheel arch liners out of the front though.

Oh and VISDEBOY - your right - his speedo is a mile out so he uses the GPS one on his satnav

i got 18s with yokohama parada spec-II 225/35/ZR18 and it has no problem with rubbing, and 18s ftw, go big or go home...

Go ahead and lower your car and let me know if it rubs over bumps

18"+ wheels are heavy, which has a negative effect on performance. Some people like the big wheels though, so good for you guys. Personally I would not go bigger than 17" because it allows a larger profile tire - which makes for a better ride, and because it looks good and isn't a large burden on the car to rotate.

lol who worries about performance in a slowica. I dont need to lower my car either cause it looks like its dropped allready, 18s with low pros just do that to a car i guess. Around here 17s get labeled as cheap and ricey, and being a dude im kinda against small things... ; )

I couldnt go with 17s because telling someone "yea 18s are too heavy" just aint gonna slide, there gonna throw it back in my face and call me a cheapo. My ride quality on 18s was wayyy better than on 14s, maybe 17s have magical ride quality compared to 14s but idk ive never road on 17s.

all in all i dont care and i dont want to fight about the pros and cons of big and small. Do what you want idc : )
