widest tire on a celica so far? Options

[PhoenixTech]

Id bet you will be looking for a wheelie bar before you need something like a 315.

I say a quality compound 255 with a properly tuned suspension would be a decision youd be happy with.



Or keep the 215s on there and enjoy frying some tires with proper rwd doughnuts across the parking lot

If he keeps IRS, he won't be doing wheelies. You need a properly setup 4-link for that. Sorry, I'm a suspension nut. haha

So 245 is the widest size of tyres on celica?

hmm. Interesting.

There is this one guy from Europe (sorry forgot his name) that posted a build thread of his Red and White Gt-Fours. They were running 255's.

I have 245/40r18 on my car but 255-275 fit no sweat
running 18x8.5

fronts rub slighly in wheel liner so suggest 255/40r17 or 255/35r18

275's? In the rear maybe, but I can't conceive they would fit on the front.

I was planning to go 255/35r18 on 18x9.5 wheels. Don't think I will have trouble for the rear, but the front will probably be something.
I would go as wide as possible in the rear, but a 4wd needs tires of the same size on all 4

have you consider pulling out the front fenders?

Will do. I'm not getting these wheels on soon though. This is just future plans.
