Personally I like 17s. But if u get the 18 get like a 30-35 tire so u dont rub.

18's LOOK best but like they stated it does have a rough ride.. I'm running 18's and have 215/35/18 tires and its rough.. I do have 2 225/40/18 tires that I'm sort of trying out and they aren't rubbing at all.. I need to put em on the back to make sure but I'm also not lowered yet either.. Lowering may cause some rubbing..

those both have +48 offset which is way too high
you would want these rotas 17x8 with a +35 offset

I love my 16s too smal for most guys here, but I just love them unless needed I would never get anything bigger

it depends on the offset, with 225/40/18 and a +35 offset you will NOT rub, even if lowered

[Toyota_Celica_97]

so the off set is how low it is rite. so the higher off set is the lower it is?

i think 16's look pretty good. after you lower a car they look really good. 16's also drive nicer, have better fuel economy, and cost less for tires then 17's and 18's.

[Toyota_Celica_97]

guess ima go with 17's lol 18's looks a little too big for me. any recommend tire size for 17" rims? i was thinking 215/45R17 but anyone know if that will do fine or need to be bigger, smaller?

also is what Toyota recommends for our vehicle

[CelicaST_CALI]

Toyota also recommends we run 10-30 in our engine

225/35/18 on 18x8 or 7.5 rims get rims with a small subtle lip black with polished rims are BA then slamm the car like 2.5 inches, roll the fender and it'll look sick

was my plans

[bslik]

i say throw some 26" chromes on it and cover more land faster

[808celica]

Nice rubberbands

those look like 19's cuz my 18's give about that much space to the brake disk

[pflau]

I decided to go with 16" because

1. The OEM 15" looks too small on the rear, the 16" looks reasonable

2. The Enkei 16" I got on now are about 13.6lb each, extremely light.

3. The smaller the wheel, the less inertia and higher performance.

[WH95TE]

I'll continue to put 16" wheels on mine.

[Shigexile]

i say 16s but there aren't many good looking wheels for 16s, you have to go 17 and up to get the nice rims.

[eggman40]

I think 17' is the sweet spot with some good looking tires. here are some pics of my rims. i want slightly bigger tires but these came with the rims:
