Hey everyone, I'm not really sure what wheels will work for the Celica and which wont. I'd really like these:

but I'm not sure if they will work straight out of the box... so if I could get a bit of info about it that would be awesome.

These could work, but definitely not without some sort of lip kit. I dunno if you're a fan of the Invader bumper (cause I'm sure not), but I think you'll need a different bumper to make these guys flow well. I'd try a C-One replica?

This bumper would actually probably work too.


Maybe even a TRD bumper?

Again, this is all just my opinion. I just don't think those wheels will flow well with a stock body or any of the splitters.

Hector... Wth are you talking about?


17x7.5 with a +30 offset will work. You'll want spacers in the rear for sure. Let me check the flush thread....

I'm talking about the look of the wheel as it flows with the Celica's body. Personally, I don't think it'll flow with a stock-looking body. Just my opinion. I know than Kevin was asking about offsets and size, but I was providing my aesthetic opinion lol

Flush offsets for 7.5" rim is:

+15 in front
-2 in rear.

To make them work well I suggest a 15mm spacer up front to bring you from 30 to 15mm, and a 30mm spacer in the rear to bring it out to a 0 offset.
