Looking to visually upgrade the 94 and was wondering about the correct fittings.

1) I run 18" wheels already but they are not wide enough. I was wanting to see what the correct size would be to that. I'm sticking with 18's so no need to drop a size or go bigger. I've already dropped it an 1 1/2 inches.

2) I would like to put a later model bumper and was wondering if it's an easy swap or do I have to make any adjustments?

Thanks in advance. I'm really working on my 76 celica but I can't neglect my baby.

1. Depends alot on the offset of the rims but 8" wide with less than 35 offset it wont rub. And also depends on tyre specs too
2. No adjustments are needed, except if you got the prefacelift model foggies.

How wide are the rims? That's what will really make the difference. Taken from the wheel offset guide by WannabeGT4.

>Ideal Offset in Relation to Wheel Width (lower ride height):
Width - Offset
7.0"-----36mm with 10mm spacer (effectively 26mm) *
7.5"-----33mm
8.0"-----40mm
8.5"-----46mm *
9.0"-----53mm (probably too wide no matter what offset)

The 96+ OEM bumper will fit just fine. Simply bolts on.

'76 Celica? Nice. Pics!
