I would like to know what the widest wheel that you can fit on both the front and rear of your Celicas are and what the correct offset would be to have the wheel be perfectly flush with the fenders.
For example, on my Celica Alltrac, I know that the front can take a 9 inch wide wheel with anywhere from a 28 to 30 offset while the rear can take a 9 inch wide wheel with anywhere from 11 to 30 offset. 11 being the closest to being flush.
In addition we can fit a 235 wide tire on the front and rear on those 9 inch wide wheels.
A 10' wide wheel can be put into the back of my AllTrac but then more care has to be taken into matching the circumferance of the front and rear wheels due to the all wheel drive system.
So does anyone know what the widest wheel is and maybe do they have pictures of the setup on their car?
I think the offset on my CE's are perfect, 18x8.5 with +42 (or +44 I forget) mm offset. I've heard people fitting 9 inches in the rear before but thats overkill, I personally think 8.5 is going overboard. I had a set of TE's once that had the perfect offset EVAR, 18.7.5 +30mm on the rear, +35 offset for the front.
The flushest to the fender without any rubbing issues I've seen is 17-19s with 8" width and a +30offset. It sits perfectly right up on the fender without rubbing. The tires have to be quite low pros, a 40 or 35 series, 225s.

Yes, if you are talking about your kind of Celica then yes the 7th gen. Tulgeywood99 is my fiancee and she has a 2003 Celica GT. She has the 15x6.5 wheels in chrome and the chrome is just starting the beginning of the end of it's life. I did put 225/50/15 tires on them and she loves the way it drives now and also the way it looks. I know that eventually the wheels will need to be replaced so I wanted to see what is the widest wheel that will fit front and rear would be for her.
She wants me to fix it up a little anyhow. So I'm just researching the options.
Does anyone have side shots showing how close their wheels come to their fenders?
^Exotic II are you putting those on your car? I always wanted to see what the staggered-look looks like. One thing I like about the Tork wheel is the chrome lips. The 18x9 is for the rear, not the front. But the setup and offset would make it sit very nicely fush both front and rear.
^ 18"x9"'s are going on the rear. I will be running 225/40ZR18 Nitto 555 in the front and 255/35ZR18 Nitto 555 in the rear. I will have to roll the rear fender, but that is about it. I am running the Eibach Pro kit so I should not rub. I will post pictures as soon as they are installed.

That rear fender lip looks pretty hard to roll, I don't know if it is or isn't but it certainly feels like that lip is pretty hefty compared the fender lips on my older Celica.
It looks pretty nice and flush though. :thumbup:
I hope to have wheels on my Alltrac looking as nice as yours eventually.
Luckily for me I can fit 17x9 Front and Rear:
I have a Turbo Alltrac which makes it a Widebody. The only regular bodied Alltracs I believe were only sold in Japan. My GT-S is also a Widebody but it's my beater car and unless we don't end up buying a Subaru next year I won't do much to it short of keeping it running. My Alltrac is what I'm trying to restore and then eventually build up. In case someone doesn't know what that is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Celica_GT-Four#ST185_.281989-1993.29
Were you able to put those 8.5 wide rims on the front as well lpphreakx06?
