Perfect wheel size on Celica Options

[AnaXyd]

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!

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.

i understand your point. i'm just saying that toyota put 15's and 14's on the 6gc. so that car is built for that size rim. you can go bigger, but on cars especially for rims what is comes stock is what is meant to be. oil and rims are two examples. when you go with bigger rims the speedometer is screwed up and heaviness is also a factor. i won't go much bigger then 16's or 17's if you want performance. but if you them want show go bigger.
