First post here! Just picked up a 95 Celica ST the other day and noticed it needed new tires pretty soon. I decided I might as well update the rims as they're the OEM 14" ones. Now then...

I've looked at a quite a few different postings about wheel fitment and most all of them have wheel spacers as something they ran. Are spacers mandatory for our cars? There's a local guy selling tC rims/tyres 17s all around (225/45-17). If I were to simply put these on my car without using spacers, would I encounter rubbing or contact issues? Trying to avoid using spacers due to the extra stress it causes. Just figured I'd ask before I go out and buy new wheels! Any advice appreciated!

I have tC wheels on my car with 15mm spacers. They look nice as they sit closer to the edge of the car looking less sunken in. I'm planning to switch them out later on down the road though.
