Not 100% but I believe 225 series tires would be a lot more stretched than what is showed in that pic. I may be wrong, but when I had 9.5's on my Celi, I had 255 & it looked about what is shown in the pic you posted. If not, than more stretched. I'm just going by what I had on my car. They were Bridgestones 255/35/18 on 18x9.5's.

Haha of course. I just got those pics to show the wheels and how strech the tires would be. And yes they are 225/40

How did you get 9.5in wheels with 255 tires on our car? I want either 245 or 255's on my Gt-Four with atleast 9in wheels. Is it doable? My goal is to have barely streched tires with a flush look, what do I need?

Just got a set of TC rims for my celica and see someone recommends 225/45 tires. Want to do an eibach sport drop, what size spacer do I need w the drop to make the car look nice? Hella flush not necessary. Thanks for the help!!

I just found out my passenger side 7th gen wheels are slightly bent so I'll be in the market for a new set of wheels and rubber. A buddy of mines has a set of konig's laying around that i might pick up and use. They are 17x7 with a 42 offset, i'm dropped with tein springs, what size tires and spacers would I be looking at getting if I want to have clean look!?

are my calulations correct?

rims: 17x7 with a 42 offset

front: 42-10: 32mm
rear: 42+8: 50mm

dam, if it's right then i don't see the rims working... better luck spending my money on another set.

You would be better off with wider if that is what you are going for. My current wheels are unfortunately similair dimensions (17x7 +40) and i run a 25mm spacer up front and 30mm in the rear.

I was just giving you the 25mm figure as an upgrade from the sunken battleship look. Not hellaflush by any means but with coilovers it still looks pretty good. Of course, we all want wider wheels dont we...

I see. Thanks for the info. I'm not planning on going for a hellaflush look but just a flusher look. Wider would be nice but I'm pretty much getting the rims free so i can't complain. Just wanted to make sure they would work.

A LOT OF WORK my friend! Just kidding, it's doable. But are you willing to work for it? Rolled the crap out of my fenders & used spacers as well. The rolling process is kind of a drag. Since you're going with such a wide wheel, a lot of trial & errors go on. Well, at least for me it did. I rolled fender, put wheel back on, drove around to check for clearance & what not, then came back & started process all over until I got it how I wanted. I forgot the exact size of spacer I used, but if you really want to know I can try & find out for you. With 9" you shouldn't have too much of a problem in the rear, the fronts MIGHT need some modifications for you to fit with no rubbing issues. Just follow Harold's specs & you should be good. He does a lot of research for this site for your use, so take advantage & don't forget to say thank you. Lol.

Thanks man. Would you happen to know a site or somewhere I can find out how tires look on wheels E.g. I'd like to see how 245s/255s look on 9/9.5in wheels.

Hey I purchased a a set of rims for cheap.. lkq is my best friend haha, I found a set of drag dr-19s real nice they are 5x100 with offset of 45 I believe. I haven't tried put them on my. Car yet. But reading this thread it made me wonder.... Wat all will I need for it to slide in my car. Would I need spacer? If so what should I go with. My celi. Has been lowered. About 2in on some eibach springs.

Worry about EVERYTHING.






























Nah guy, the bolt pattern matches, so you're all set. With that size and offset, you won't have to worry about rubbing or fitment issues, just slap the suckers on.

Wow, it's so hard to pick out a set out of wheels. Got my eye on these: http://xxrwheels.com/xxr_521.shtml

Thinking about 18x8,5 ET15 with 205/40/18 up front and 18x10 ET20 back with 225/40/18. Will this work? Car will be on BC Racing coilovers, my guess is it needs a bit of neg camber (at least in the rear).

GC coils wont get you more low than the ebay sleeves you have on now. Bite your lip and save $300 more and you can get Megan coils Trust me these coils can slam the 6.

10" wide in the rear?? Seriously If you have a FOUR than that wouldnt be a problem. 8" wide is plenty enough for a fwd 6

what happens when your original studs extend past the face of the spacer?

it seems as if you would need to get smaller studs.
so in reality the spacers arent truly \"bolt on\" correct?



EDIT
after talking to a friend I was told that most aftermarket wheels have a pocket on the hub mount face that would allow the original studs to poke out a bit

you can see the cleaner area on this rays wheel would be the pocket

You'll want spacers. About 10-15mm depending on the width of the wheels.

Yes some wheels have extra 5 holes for the studs.to come out. My older rims didnt have those holes so i had to grind the studs about 3-4mm and make it flush with the spacer. Now the only studs that sick out are the ones the holds the wheel.
If you wanna do this grind the stud with the nut bolted all the way down. and when you finish grinding you will remove the nut and fix the thread by removing the nut if its damaged.
Thats what i did and worked good im using 25mm spacers on the back
