I have a Celica AT200, and is currently looking for some new wheels and tires. What is the perfect wheel size on my Celica? I am planning to lower it too.

Any answers will be appreciated! smile.gif

rule of thumb. if the automaker put it on it is probably the best best. 15's are stock. 16's are ok. anything else is really for show and not for performance.

your rule of thumb isn't very good. Most things automakers put on are for safety /detuned and are no optimal.
They are designed for a specific market.

If that was the case there would be no modding at ALL required.
