ok well I'm just doing my research on rims and tires. I had the plan of purchasing these rims for my celica. http://www.rhdjapan.com/enkei-sport-es-tarmac-wheels-54570 specifically 16x7JJ 5x100 +32 offset my question is would I need some sort of spacers for these? I heard you especially need them for the rear. Plus the tires i'm planning to get are these. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...wall=Blackwall&partnum=045VR6RE11XL&tab=Sizes tire size being 205 45 R16 would these tires fit a 7JJ wheel?
They will actually stick out more than your oem rims, because of the lower ET and I guess they are wider too. So I don't think you'll need a spacer for the oem body, unless you want to install some side skirts or other attachments later. I only use spacers on the back, because the bodykit straightens out the side of the body, and that way the rear wheels looking like they are much more inside than they should, but with the side curve of the oem chassis it won't look odd. Tire size would be good too. Those rims will look awesome in white on your car
Yea i think rear will be the problem as well. Spacers will be there for sure probably 5mm. Hopefully the coilovers will allow for a little more space.
rear should not be a problem. i have 16x7 with et42 and i needed 5mm spacers. you are 7mm further away from the strut tower than me already without spacers. this is assuming you use 205/45/16, that's what i have. it is the right tire for the wheel, and it's also the right tire for the speedo to be within 1-2% difference. you shouldn't scrub anything, maybe a little bit in the front during hard turns.
So I'm guessing I don't need spacers since I looked at rim size calculator and saw the difference between to your rim size and my desired rim size. That tire size is what I'm planning to get so it's all good. As for the fenders, I will roll them according to spacing issues.
Good luck and it's always the same around xmas/new year when funds get drained even quicker. Just think that by the time you get them they should be heaps cheaper :mrgreen
