i am getting used 18" rims and tires set. Do you guys think 4 of them will be fit in our car? Also, instead of 5x100 pattern, what is no ..no..for these 18" size? I mean what is the "max" "size" for the tires to make them fit nicely. Thanks in advance. it is gts, all stock.

You can't fit anything that isn't compatiable with a 5x100 pattern. My 18's with a 1.5" drop comfortably fit 225/40/18 tires. So those will be no problem for you.

As for them fitting in your car, I managed to get my 4 gts wheels inside on my way back from getting the new wheels installed. Just have 1 in the passenger seat, 2 in the back seats and the 4th in your trunk.

thank you...but i changed my mind because there were some dents on rims. Anyway, I am getting others; can i use wheel adapters on 18 width, blt pttrn 5x112, aspec ratio 40, hub bore 57.10/ 2.25 inch, section witdh 225 on our car? And what is the available tire size for this rim? Would you tell me how to "calculate" the rim & tire that fit on our car without "cutting" / modification please?

You can go 19x10 on the celica if you want. You can also buy spacers that convert bolt patterns to 5x100.

If you go 18" get 40 sidewalls for your tires, if you go 19" go 35 sidewall, otherwise the car will be sitting alot higher off the ground.

I didnt realize that hub bore is very important too (after i bought the wheels). Here is the situation, our car is 54.1 bore while my wheel is 57.1. There are two options i see on ebay for the wheel adapters, one has 74 mm bore another is 57.1 mm bore. So, what/how is the hub centric rings I should buy/which one? Do i need to buy hub centric rings between car to wheel adapters since there is a different size (54.1 to 57.1 or another one is 54.1 to 74mm)?

The easiest way to deal with it is...
Buy 54.1 hubcentric adapters
then buy 54.1 to 57.1 hubcentric rings for the wheel.

thus, the adpater stays perfectly center on the hub and the wheel stays pefectly center on the adapter.

but if i can get a wheel adapter that exactly has the same bore (54.1mm), do i need to get the hub centric too? Also, do i still need the ring centric between wheel adapter and Wheels?

because I find a place that custom the bore to be the same with oem size (54.1) but it is not hub centric adapters. Sorry for my noob about this

I found other company but he said something that I dont understand :"..I can make it hubcentric to your car, but not to a rim.
There would be NO LIP to center the rim....."

By his statement/explanation, can i still be able to put hubcentric rings between the adapters and the wheels?
