16" Rims - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #10438 5 posts Started by sonar
Im changing my wheels to 16" Motegi Racing MR8 (http://www.tires-n-parts.com/wheels/motegi/mr8silver.html). I am wondering what type of tires size should i use? I am also changing my stocks springs to Eibach SPortline which would drop 1.5" front and rear. SHould i change the stock shocks also or it would work fine with the stock shocks?
ive put 205 50zr16 Kumho Ecsta supras on 16" celica gts 2001 wheels last year and its workin damn great - they stick to the road dry or wet and nice handling too... they are pretty cheap too! i bough them @ tiretrends.com
i have 16" Konig Octanes, and i'm using 205/45/16 tires on them. i had 215/50/16 when i had my ALT chromey's a while back. i personally like the look of the 45's...and, i don't think that there's THAT much of a difference between 45 and 50.

also, i'd definately change your struts/shocks...

just my opinion, tho.
i am going to order Tein S-Tech lowering springs and KYB-GR2 shocks, what do u guys think?
Lets me know how that works out ... In a week or two i am going to try my new 17" Koseis ... Hoping they aint going to rub too much...

I am prolly going to go for a suspension setup too so would be nice to hear...
