What size wheels do you currently have? Size and offset, along with tire specs. Is your Celica lowered, and by how much? Do you have any body kit parts attached?

Spacers should be avoided when a the correct wheel+tire combination will safely get the desired job done.

Measure the distance you need, and then buy a set of wheel spacers with that measurement. A set of four universal alloy wheel spacers (both 4-stud and 5-stud fitments) can be found for $8 and up.

Wheel spacers have a few drawbacks:
- Wheel spacers add rotating, unsprung weight (absolutely the worst kind for acceleration, cornering, and ride).
- Longer wheel studs or bolts are more prone to shear fatigue (snapping) than standard-length bolts. These are weak points for cars that have regular track use.

Im running the stock wheels on a 7th gen gt.

Tire:205/55R15
Wheel:6.5Jx15 ET39

Im not worried about the downsides because i don't take my celica to the track.

I am on stock ride height but i plan on getting megan racing coil overs with adjustable ride height but lower it one inch from stock no matter what:
