New Wheels and Tires - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #27344 11 posts Started by jgreening
Well, today I was notified that my wheels that I ordered 4 months ago are finally in and I should get them in about a week. So, I ordered new tires to go with them.

I ordered the Avon Tech M550 A/S in 215/45/17 - great reviews on tirerack and only $99 each for ultra high performance all season.

As for my wheels, those will be a surprise... >biggrin.gif>

Yo PM me the surprise...I can keep a secret
you ordered them from tirerack?

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
sweet... what size/offset did you go with ?

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

The offset is 48 on 7.5" rims...but I have 15 mm H & R spacers >biggrin.gif> It should look very flush.
