hi everybody ive just joined this site today as ive ran out of places to get proper info on my car. should have joined way sooner!!!!! pics comin soon!!
its the second celica gt ive owned and defo not gonna be the last. anyway ive come across some eurostyle deep dish alloys 16, 7.5inch 15mm offset at the front and 16, 9inch 25mm offset at the rear. im pretty sure the front ones will be fine but im a but worried the rears might rub off the suspention. have any of you guys tried anything like this, would be great to find out if they will fit before i take a 3 hour drive to pick em up. thanks josh |

I suggest you check out Nibbe's profile, and PM him for more info. He is running 19x9.5's on the rear without any clearance issues that I am aware of. Good luck!
I tried to put a tidy little link to his profile in here, but failed, so you will have to hunt him down yourself. Edit: Worked the link out... This post has been edited by kezza-q: Feb 1, 2009 - 10:40 PM |

I'm not too sure that would look good on our cars. I say keep all 4 wheels the same size. We don't have high-performance RWD cars, so there's no need to have wide tires in the rear.

sorry but i don't think its going to happen
with a +15 offset in the front the wheels will be sticking out quite a bit past the fenders the rears will be close. nibbe made 19x9.5 +35 fit with some work but 16x9 +25 is even more stuck out you should ask him if you can try the wheels on before you buy them the staggered look is awesome. lots of volkswagen guys are fwd and run staggered. |

just because there's no performance aspect for it doesn't mean it doesn't look awesome!! and when you go to the track flip your wheel then there's no prob for the ppl who think its useless...there
