Question about fitness

[02_celica_gts]

I have a 02 (prob doesnt matter) GTS and my car is on lowering springs only, no aftermarket shocks, and it's a 2 inch lower all the way around... I was wondering if I'm lookin into rims what would look the best, i want to fill most of the wheel well and i don't to buy rims and still have the big gap in there... But also not have to buy spacers to avoid rubbing.

I was thinking 18s??? or would that be too much with being lowered 2 inches... Also the offset?

And if anyone has pics of their car lowered on any rims pics would be appreciated...

Thanks!

You want to get anything that is +35mm offset, then it will sit pretty flush. x7.5" width is good, x8" width even better. I had 18x8" 35mm rims and they sit pretty damn flush.

Enkei, TSW, 5zigen, Volk, and any major manufacturer of wheels will have something in that offset for sure. You won't have any rubbing issues whatsoever as long as you get the proper sized tires, that stay within the recommended stock diameter dimensions.

So you dont' have aftermarket struts? I was wanting to buy lowering springs but no struts, I was wondering how there holding up? Any problems?

[02_celica_gts]

A lot of people said they don't last long, but i live up in NB Canada, the roads are horrible out here and i have stock struts with Dropzone 2 inch lowering springs and haven't had any problems yet... *crosses fingers*

I have 18's on my car with lowering springs, I think about 1 inch lower. And it looks like this:

I have 225/45, a bit to much rubber, would look much better with 225/35.

Well yeah i live in Saskatchewan and the roads here are probibly worse then where you live lol. How long have you had that set up on for?

[02_celica_gts]

I'd say about 2 years maybe a bit more? And i drove it through the winters too...

Tein S.techs (1.4" drop all around). Had them on my Celica for about 4 years on stock struts/shocks. My car is well over 111,900 miles and the shocks and struts are still fine. No bouncy ride whatsoever.

start out by runnin a mile a day and work your self up

eat lots of veggies

:jerkoff: is a great way for arm fitness


:laugh:

2 inch drop in the winter? man you guys got alot of snow there this year didn't you? how was your car in the snow? I know that we have had more than usual here but i never had any trouble bottoming out, but im not lowered. I would have to drive my car in the winter aswell.

[02_celica_gts]

yeah we did lol ... Wasn't the best tryin to get around lol all season tires don't help much either...

[TCgts]

Yeah i bought a set of winter tires to go on my gts rims. They help out alot you should probibly invest in some. Especially cause im sure were bound to get just as bad winters to come.

[02_celica_gts]

Hopefully this will be my Celicas last winter, gettin a new paint job this spring and hoping to be able to store it from here on out...

[TCgts]

Yeah i wish i could afford a winter car, but im going to school so there isn't any chance in that until i get out.
