First note that I looked around but didn't happen to see anything that mentioned this (pardon me if I missed it.)
Ok guys, Im looking into buying some new rims for my car, and I love the way 18's look on the celica. I know that physically they fit on the car no problem, but also i'm planning to put in the silvertop 4age. Now i know the 1.6 4age technically has more torque than the 1.8 7afe, but at a much higher range in the rpm band. Because of this would i be putting any unnecessary stress on the motor during stop and go traffic due to the wheel size? Basically are 18's to big for a 1.6L? Or am I worrying over nothing? Thanks ahead of time guys! |

I've already considered brakes and suspension but thanks for bringing it up. i realize its more stress on everything, but is it too much for the motor you think? would 17's be more appropriate?
