I just want to know if these would fit on a 97 vert if anyone can help me and let me know

[Promasta]

nope, they are too wide.

[whatthe]

Are you kidding me. Do it. 18x9.5 et35. And just roll your guards. It will look pron.

[808celica]

rolling and some grindin and bangin you can make anything fit

if all else fails..........if it doesnt fit, use spit

[Harold_Fastwaker]

bull****, that will fit.

I am working on stuffing 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear. Roll the fenders and you will need to be selective on what tire size you run to keep from rubbing on the strut and you will be fine. Just make sure you run coilovers to get ride of the nasty wheel gap.

[Promasta]

whoa...easy.

sorry to ruin your fun but my 17x8s rub bad in the front and rear and thats with stretched tires, so i have no idea how you'll fit 18x9.5s.

and ya i'm kinda pissed cause a bunch of people told me i wouldn't rub.

[808celica]

Well im running 17x8 ET35 with 225/45 no rubbing at all. Im still on stock height.

[808celica]

that's why have the car on 2 then you'll get rubs

[marco]

8,5x18" + 35offset with 225/40R18 in the front no problem
9,5x18" + 35offset with 225/35R18 in the rear is no problem when you Roll the fenders

take a look

you are doing something wrong then. 17x8 et 35 is a great wheel setup. What tire are you running? And did you roll your fenders?

take a look

its no problem because the car is AWD and has the power to push bigger rims

for us people big rims only makes us slower

plus the back is still high for my taste.....when i get my stupid problem fixed i'll show you guys how dropped i am

lol doing something wrong?
17x8 +32 wedssports
215/45/17 falken azenis's
if you do the math that wheel and tire is 1.37" taller than stock.
i dropped about 1.3" in the front and 0.8" in the rear on tanabe coilovers (so it is still higher than stock height, which is ghey)
the tire is only 6mm from the suspension.
the rear fenders were rolled with a fender rolling tool, i think the lip needs to be cut completely off tho.
and in the front there is nothing to roll...
my next tires will be 215/40/17 falken azenis's, that should help.

Run a 205/45/17 as another option. Run a stretched tire.

So are you rubbing on the strut? Or are you rubbing fender?


I just did a test fit of 17x8.5 +31 in front and 17x9.5 +23 in the rear. Running 215/45 and 235/45 respectively. Once they are fully mounted I will post pictures. And these suckers are straight up flush and poke.

Just stick a bat in there. that'll push them far enough.

[95CelicaST]

Do NOT use a baseball bat to roll your fender, unless you want to destroy your paint in the process. Go rent an actual fender rolling tool.

I'm running 17x7.5 and mine are fine, don't rub at all. Maybe your shocks are bad and they are throwing off your suspension?
