My "GT-4 lookalike" with 19inch wheels - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #2837 57 posts Started by GT-4
"PROJECT GT4" WITH 19INCH WHEELS
Well, the 19inch wheels have now arrived and have been installed. They are Fondmetal wheels from Italy. The fronts are 19x8 running 225-35-19 and the rears are 19x9 running 235-35-19. I think the back will take 245-35-19...which I will get to give a broder stance. It took me almost two months to get these wheels (hard to get a 5x100 for front wheel drive in a staggered offset and different widths), but I have to say I am very happy with them.

nope...no problem with rubbing at all. The car is lowered 1.5 inches.

Oh, and yes the car looks fast, but its a daily driver...and gas mileage is an issue. My 4th get alltrac drinks...or should I say guzzles gas...850cc injectors and 2 TT Supra fuel pumps. So, swapping my 4th gens 3sgte motor is not an option!!! >biggrin.gif>

But if I decide to keep the car for an extended period of time...a normal 3sgte or a BEAMS 3sge is the most likely swap.

ahh...I don't wanna talk about it now. I am still trying to hide all the receipts so I don't have to lok at them too much...it wasn't cheap...but it was affordable for 19 inch rims >tongue.gif> >biggrin.gif>

ill post the total cost in a couple days...once I get over it.

New Toyota project coming soon...

Well, the GT4 fogs (already have them) to install, front lip spoiler, rear extentions. That should complete the exterior. (possible JDM rears)

Then rear discs and then may turn my attention to an engine swap.

BTW: thanks for all the positive comments guys...

SWEET CAR!! how much did you get the spoiler lifters for?
when you put one the larger wheels, did you notice a loss in accelleration?

no not really...the overall diameter on the front wheels are very close to stock...within 1/2

wow...thats kind of weird thinking every time a person turns on their computer...they see my car. >biggrin.gif> But thats a compliment...so I will just say thanks.

As far as the camera goes...its a Sony Mavica...its easy...just point, zoom in or out, push button. Of course you have to set up if you want 640x480, 1028x768, etc. I never even read the manual!!!
awesome! gunna go take a look at those right now... im in the market for a new digital camera b/c i will be going to college in the fall and want to have my own so im not dependant on my moms camera...

Your car looks tight but the acceleration must have taken a kick in the head. I think our Celicas look better than Supras when they have a nice kit and wheels specially the GT-4 hood and the stuff you have on your car.
