Hey all,

I've tried a search for this and it doesn't appear to have been a topic about it. Has anyone tried to have a 19x8 rim on their celica? I have a 98' SSIII. What tyre profiles have you fitted with your rims? Any problems? I'm thinking about getting a set of 19x8.

Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

I have some AXIS 19x8.5 rims (35mm offset) with Toyo T1-S 235/35/19 with Koni(non-adj.) and tein S-techs

ALOT of people were telling me to do a 38mm offset but AXIS recommended the 35mm and it is a tight fit.
the only problem that I have had is that if I hit a dip hard(very hard) the pass.rear tire would scrape on the inner side of the fender very breifly, only happened 2 or 3 times.

AS far as drivability on the way home after I took off my 17's I had to go down a rough road and my only thought was "what the &$^* did I do?" because the ride was so rough compared to my last tire/wheel setup.
BUT by the next week I was completely used to it and totally love my 19's

I also plan on going with a wider tire soon I am going to try a 245/35/19 toyo T1-R but with the drop on my car it will be very close to the fender if it is wider-
but if I get brave I will try a 255/30/19...we'll see

As for pics I think there might be some in my profile, if not I will see if I can put some there
