rims & tires, what sizes do I need? Options

[dayzdchika]

I want to get some rims, but I don't know anything about the different sizes in rims & tires, like what will fit on my celica. From what I've read, I think I want 17's, because if I understand right, if I try to lower the car, 18's will cause problems for me. I don't know anything about tire sizes, like what the 3 numbers stand for, so what would I need? And as far as brands go for the tires, is one brand better than another?

thanks guys!

yokohama's are the **** but kinda suck in the winter.... but in the rain there is almost no diff between wet and dry

well if they're bad in the winter, they're definitely gonna suck for me, cause I get a good amount of snow here .... any other brands that are fairly good in the snow?

and if I got some 17" rims, and I drop my car 3" again, what size tires would you suggest?

thanks guys so much!

Hope
