whats the offset? cuz 8.5 is GIGANTIC! i had 8" wide ones withat 32mm offset, and i was soooooo close to rubing....ud need like 27ish, and i still think if u peg it ull rub.

should be on the inside lip or on the spokes. usually coded in some way.

it probably won't be on the rims themselves, you'll have to estimate by measuring the distance between the mounting surface and the inner lip of the rim, and then subtracting half of the rim width (all in millimeters).

the only thing the wheels usually have on them is the size and casting information, if anything.

edit: aftermarkets, anyway. just take a pic of any numbers stamped on them.

nvm they are made by arelli
im pretty sure those arent going to fit on the celi with that high of a tire sidewall. I couldnt even fit 45's with my 18's in the wheelwells..

I know how you feel man. LoL. It took me a while until I finally got mines. Just make sure you get 5x100 are you are set.
They kinda remind me of the VW wheels that look like flowers for some reason. maybe you should paint them black and get lower profile tires. If the bolt pattern fits I would use them. I've seen 20's on Celica's before. what size tires are those?

Where have you seen 20's? 19's Maybe, but not 20's unless you roll fenders and do some modifications...

Those will fit on your car. They are universal 5 lugs. 5x100 (ours) and also 5x114.3. Just buy some inexpensive 215/35/18 tires for them. You can buy Kumho in that size for $79 per tire at TireRack.com.
