Hello all you people im new member from finland and also new owner for 6th Celica 94 liftback 1.8 (red one)!

Now i have only 15" rims onboard for winter but my question is:

What rims (size and width) and tyres do you use in summer? and when u answer please tell also, have u got lowering springs or not.

I need find new rims for me smile.gif i think 17" is very common in celicas.

Now I'm no rocket scientist but logic would tell me that no matter how wide your rim is...if you only have 205mm of rubber touching the road, you will get the same traction as a stock rim. The only reason you would need to put a wider rim on our car is if you are going with a 235 or wider tire.


Well i am a physicist and i am telling you that the wider rim streches the tyre a bit wider than a 6~7 inch rim.
However the comparison was to my old stock setup(195/65R14) wink.gif wink.gif
