I found some oz 18" ultraleggeras for a decent price and was wondering if they will fit. The guy says they will fit an audi a4 and a VW jetta. I looked the rims up on tire rack but the options for the celica are only the 17". Also I searched members rides and they seem to have 17' and below. Then I looked them up for the jetta on tire rack, and the wheel specifications are as followed....

Offset 35mm
Backspacing 5.87
Bolt Pattern 5-100

225/40-18

Also I was looking up all the mods to do for a celica and should I do the wheels first, gt4 hood and bumper conversion, or anyone else have any ideas. I dont think i will be doing any performance mods since it will be my daily driver.

Thanks.

Posting my first pics of my celica today!

Thats what i was afraid i would run into. Will that happen with every 18". My suspension is stock. To be honest im just searching on craigslist for cheap wheels and wondering what to look for or be cautious of. Im gonna eventually get some. And do i only need the wheels so i can just use my lugz and switch em out. Swiss ferdie the scion tc wheels were my best bet for that. But i am lookin at other options to. Like more aftermarket ones. Some of the wheels im lookin at are not on tire rack. Ive looked at the tire size sticky, i found it somewhere on this forum cant remember, and really didnt understand it. Is all i need to look for is 5x100. Im trying to do this right the first time.

Also i will want to lower it to make it look right. Im probablly going to use the kyb struts and some type of lowering spring such as TRD, Eibach, Or some other. Does it matter which one to use. And are any other parts required? Ive looked through members rides and they have a whole bunch of setups. Also for the lowering my car is all i will need to do it right is just the kyb struts and some type of lowering spring, or will i need anything else to do that right so it will last long, and not have any future problems down the road? Or is it worth it to go to coilovers even though they are way more expensive. This is also my daily driver. Ive been reading on here and most people seem to want coilovers. Are the struts and springs just as good but cheaper. Ive looked at the parts database and there are all kinds of options. But i dont know what is the best way i should go about this. Hopefully you guys can help me with this or send me to a guide on this topic that will happen to explain this all at once in a simple manner and look at different options for suspension and different setups there is to do and everything I would need to do this right.

Thanks
