Thanks man! But I'm definitely rolling my fenders before I get new wheels. I may stick with 17x8 all around, just for tire convenience lol. I don't want the hellaflush look, but I definitely want to be more flush and have a wider stance, I just don't want to kill my bearings with large spacers.

Hector just wants it wide in the rear, how hard is that to understand?

hahaha

Hector, this is the 17x8 in the rear. no spacers or anything..

[HectortheRican]

Wow those look super nice! That's about the amount of flushness I want for mine. Both front and rear. What offset are those?

Alright that's what I want, +35 to +30 looks damn good! Thanks

no problem Hector, glad I could help.

I've had these rims on three dropped celica's and one stock suspension. I didn't have to roll the coupe fenders, but both hatchbacks I have had to. Maybe its a bit different? Anywho, let us know what you end up getting!

[HectortheRican]

Definitely will do!! Hopefully I'll be able to get new wheels by the summer. I'm going to focus on suspension till then.

I have 18x8's + 35, and they are just a tinny bit away from flush in the rear.
The front is REALLY close and I'm pretty content with it.
The back are decent, could use a small spacer, but I'm still pretty happy with them.
My tires rub like a 1/16th of an inch on my rear fencer.
I just bent the rear lip up a bit and its good.
my tires are 225 40's as well.


These are the best pictures I have of it stance, sorry, they're not the greatest

[jcbass7]

^He is lowered on Tien S-techs as well.. That makes me want 18's haha

I definitely wanna stay at 17 inch, but the +35mm offset is looking good! I think that I'll keep them like that up front but I'll get a pair of 10mm spacer for rear, since the rear end is bigger. I'll be buying either Megan Racing coilovers or BC BR series coils. And thanks for the input guys!!

[96stgreendemon]

SPACERS!!!!! im getting huge spacers lol, i could just buy a dished rim..... but i love the 7th gen rims too much....

[HectortheRican]

[96stgreendemon]

yeahh pretty much lol
i'm so bored it isn't even funny.

[HectortheRican]

Ha, yeah. I was just kidding around


And I'm not really sure what rims I want! All I know is that I wanna stay at 17", I want to go up to 8" wide, and I want an offset of at least 35mm on them. I'll get to looking eventually, I won't be getting new rims for a while, since I have to get new tires as well for the 8" wide wheels.

Any recommendations on tires? I'm running 215/40/17 Falken 512 tires and I like the way they wrap around the wheel. My current wheel is 7.5" wide. What would be an equivalent tire to look the same on an 8" wheel?
