19" wheels will fit. I personally don't care for anything bigger than an 18" wheel on the Celica but a few on here have pulled off 19' wheels very well. Just search for pics.

[bman365]

supposedly 20's fit too..kid around here has some god ugly chrome's on his car. Just heard about it, didn't care to find out the truth. I wouldn't do 19's on a daily driver..that's just me.

[bt216]

[b1m3x8]

yes they do but unless your a baller i would stay with some nice 18's. 20's fit but they look horrible.

Go for 18's, 19's are really hard to pull off.

On my first Celica i had 18s on it and i liked to look except that i wanted to lower my car. I like the way the 19s look on JayPs car. Nice car man

[GSBoek]

Here's a pic of 18s from one of our meets. This guy is dropped too. You can see a world of difference with my 17" undropped car.

Tnx man, mine is dropped with Eibach sportline springs and it doesn't rub at all

[Nexx]

think i may try and find a nice set of 19s when i get my Celica when i get back.

[TRDoug]

19's only look good on a kitted and dropped celi IMO. They will also slow you down a great deal. If you want looks then go for it. I like my 18's, however, all the rides with 19's in this thread look really REALLY NICE!!! :thumbup:

[hombredelassrta]

19x8 which is just about too big as it rubs when lowered in the 2" range.

But it all really deals with the wheel width and the offset to see if they will fit or not

[Nexx]

Nice looking car. All these people have such nice cars... im so jealous. I cant wait to get home and hopefully find me a GTS like i want.

[arctik06]

19's will fit so will 20's my homeboi got nice 20's on stock springs looks good for chrome on an import

[hombredelassrta]

you could probably put 22's on stock. issue is offset, width, tire size and how low the car is

[Nexx]

I dont know how i would feel riding around on 20s on my Celica.

but do 19''s mes up ur steering wheel alignment or anything???
and wat bout the tires going out??i hear dat all the time???

[marc]

18s destroy the car's performance

I can't imagine what 19s would be like.

[hombredelassrta]

^^ slightly worse ;). They are heavy beasts. I'm sure if you could find some lightweight forged ones it would be ok but that is out of the budget range for most

[sittinSidewayz]

18s destroy the car's performance

I can't imagine what 19s would be like.

It would be a complete waste of money, IMO, to get 19s for that reason. Plus, it destroys the car's fuel economy.

[Nexx]

I had 18s on my GT when i had one and it didnt change my gas mileage hardly if any. I did notice a change in performance but its also a matter of you are going for. Do you want looks or performance.

[JayP]

I have a 300+whp 1989 MR2 in the making, so if I want to race I drive that one, for me the celica is just for cruising, hitting lift and that's it.

[JayP]

I haven't had no problem with nothing and like hombre said it's all about the offset. It slows the car a bit, but even I got to admit, it makes the car look nice.
If you want a more speed and style, I'll got with 18's if I were you.

Thats a really nice car. I really like the paint job. Ive never been a fan of black rims but they look good your car.

[red-gts]

19s belongs on widebodies and widebodies only.
although jayp and hombre do pull them off nicely.

[miswhite]

thanks guys

[bt216]

19s belongs on widebodies and widebodies only.
if you say so :shrugs: I think Vergel and I also pull them off np ;)

[miswhite]

brad i think you pull it off with np it all matters on what style wheel and body you go with like your rims fit the body nicely there is more that goes into it than just picking a size. all in style and body lines imo but what do i know right?

[bt216]

:chuckles: just saying "widebodies only" isnt exactly true :shrugs:

I agree with what you are saying. Its also personal preference, what may not look good to you and me, may look good to someone else. You guys have really nice cars and the rims to go with them.

[red-gts]

haha im sure u have more than enough power to justify running 19x9s and u probably dont even feel the difference :gap:
but im not diggin the style, but thats just me. same goes for voodoo.
i guess it all comes down to a matter of opinion. personally i think 18s are already too big, which iss why ive been thinking about going back to 17s, maybe even lightweight 16s.

Don't, after hombre, I think your car is the second one this forum that I like the most, great kit, nice rims and perfect matching colours :gap:

JayP what percentage tint do you have on your car it looks like 5%!!! I'd love to do 20% on mine but 35% is whats legal here.

Yeap it's 5% allround. It's still allowed, in other words: the cops will not give you a fine for that.

Wow, lucky you. I bet you can still do underbody lighting as well lol. What state do you live in

why do you have staggered front/rear wheels on a FWD car?

That's just going to induce even WORSE understeer than the car already has.

Probably because it's not a race car, it's a show car.

[miswhite]

thank you. radicaledward
but for marc i understand you might be an all preformance type of guy but understand this. its my wifes car for one and two there is no tracks around where i live and your just a damn fool to street race. so what would we get more pleasure from a balanced race car with no track or desire to find a track or "PRETTY" car for my wife. my point exactly. not to mention almost every widebody'd car celica civic integ's scion's i could go on forever but my point is they all have staggered wheels im not the first to do this and sure as heck wont be the last.

I like the look of that widebody. Nice job.

[miswhite]

thanks buddy lots of work considering nothin at all fit. i had to extend the bumper like 3 inchs to make it wide enough. and this is the bumper that came with the kit. crazzy stuff alll in all it was fun getting the kit on and painting the car. i thought about changing the color again this year but couldnt bring my self to it. love this ppg candy way better than house of kolor

That sucks to hear. I ripped off my back bumper the other day and i was considering just starting up on a new body kit, but everything i've read says they rarely if ever fit right and have to be modified and end up being pretty pricey, which doesn't work for me.

Haven't been to AUA in a long time. People here in CUR have piped down a bit on the lightings since "keuring" has become a bit more stringent.

I'm trying to figure out where you took the pic, was it on the road to San Nicolas?

That's right, I'm not sure if "keuring" here checks under the car for lightings, but could be why people here are not using them as they used to use them in the past.

Yes the picture was taken in San Nicolaas - Colony at Rogers Beach

What suspension set up are you running? Mine will oversteer if I want it too.


I like what he;s done with that car, nice job on the paint and the staggered fitment sets off the widebody.

There's more Celi's with 19's than I thought. On Hombre's and JP's car the 19's look bad ass. 19's are easier to pull off on a widebody celi, but you don't need a widebody to pull them off. I have 18's and am happy with them.

thaichi8,

Your rims look kinda small, I wonder why that is. I have 18's and they don't look small. What tires do you have? They look nice though, I really like the kam kit.

[thaichi8]

idk why it look so small >< prob cuz of the body kit
ive had 18 on stock before it huge. i had to get larger size cuz my 17" looks really tiny. shouldve gone for 19" lol

I think it's your body kit I have the same size tires. 19's will look better, but your car looks hot either way.
