I'm considering buying a set of 16x7 rims that would come with 245/50/16 tires... These should fit on a Celica, right? (my car is lowered, in case that matters).
edit: my current tires are 205/50/15... I like the comfort, but not the handling. This post has been edited by Rider: Apr 24, 2008 - 12:17 AM |

QUOTE(chrisalphonsus @ Apr 23, 2008 - 9:30 PM) [snapback]667568[/snapback] can 245/40/18 and a 9 inch wide wheel require a lot of modifications to put on as my car is lowered 1 inch , please help as i might have just got ripped off by someone who vouched it will fit what's the offset? (it should be stamped somewhere on the wheel, usually on the back of the spokes.) it's gonna be hard to fit them. you'd need an offset somewhere around a 25-35, probably about 30. Then, you're wheels are gonna stick outside your fender about 10-20mm so you'll need to roll the fenders. it also might be much easier to fit with a 245/35/18 tire. --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

The offset on the rims I was asking about is 38 if that matters.

i believe they should fit.
with my old wheels which i think are a 30-35 offset? maybe even 28 im not sure.. i mocked up a 235 35 18 tire and it fit very well, i was gonna get some 235 40 18's and rock them 245 40 18 will come close up front, but i wouldnt see any problems as long as you arent smashing bumps while turning -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!

i have 185/70/14 the factory size tires.
on the side panel of the door it says cold tire invlation should be at 29 in front and 29 in the back, would 33 psi in the front and back do anything to the tires This post has been edited by BonzaiCelica: Apr 26, 2008 - 1:21 PM -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

I had a 6gc come into my work the other day with 225/50/15's on the stock GT wheels. that's the tire size I was gonna run so I could get better traction with my 5sfte before I got the 17's and did 225/45/17's on a 8 inch wheel. -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

225/40 18" although the rims are 8.5" so i could run a 245 or bigger, but this keeps the right rolling diameter.

To you guys with the 225/45/17, why do you like it as opposed to the 215/45/17?
I have the Scion TC wheels, and I'm wondering if it's worth the extra money to get the 225's. What's the advantage of these as opposed to the 215's? I know the bigger tires will cost more, and I'm trying to save as much money as possible at this point. |
