Hi guys! Recently joined and this is my first post so sorry if i mess this up. So i've decided to buy some new rims for my girl but i'm not sure with my choice.

A friend is selling a set of 4 gold Rota Grids 18x9.5, +38 offset and 5x100 PCD rims with Nexen N7000 265/35/R18 tires for $400 (one of the rims is slightly damaged hence the cheap price)

Could anyone please tell me if these would fit my celica, i have stock height/suspension 94 SX, and how much would it impact on performance

thanks guys

It'll fit but it'll rub on bumps for sure. You'll need to get stretched tires. Somewhere around 225/45. You're speedometer is going to be going slower than you really by just a little. Also 18" Rota grids are stupid heavy for your car and 265 is way too wide for your car. You don't need that grip. Its only adding weight. But That's if you care about performance.

265 wide tire wont fit at all. unless you chop of your rear quarter panels and make a wide body kit/wide arches. i only see you going 265 if your change your car to rwd/awd and turbo the sucker
