first, is it possible to make my celica GT ..... awd
jokes im really looking into buying a gt-four (import), and i want to know (since i want to use it all year long) how it performe in the snow. i know the awd systeme work like a charm in summer, but compared to those suby and audi how does the gt-four awd perform in snow  (didnt know where to post but i think handling is the best place) This post has been edited by chode: Dec 12, 2008 - 10:52 AM --------------------  |

The smallest wheels you can fit on are 16`s due to the big discs and calipers.
Offset must be ET35 or less (within reason) although you might get away with an ET38 depending on the spoke design. Width you can pretty much have anything 8.5" or less...you might get away with 9" but you might get some rubbing. I wouldnt go less than 7" wide. The wheels to look out for to run winter tyres on are OZ Chrono`s...very rally style wheels and came as an option on the ST205...look very smart and suit the st205 very well. -------------------- |
