Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior wheel offset

hey im getting a celica within the next month and not sure what would be a good offset for it. im planning on getting 18 x 8 or 18 x 7.5...
thanks, lee

35 mm offest looks great with a 8 inch wide wheel.

yeah..try and keep the offset between 35 and 43, that would be best

35mm rear & 45mm front on mine. Click on my name to see my pics in my profile. I have 18x7.5 though.

so like a 38 offset wouldnt be bad if i got 18 x 8

not at all. its between 35 and 45

ok sorry about this, im kinda new to the celica. now what size tires would be ok if i was planning on dropping it later.. im guessing like 225/40/18.

im planning on getting 215/35/18..low profile tire

i think a 215 tire is tooo narrow for a 8 inch wheel. 225 is better adn 235 is awsome.

Good choise. I have the same size. A little too big in diameter (20mm) but won't give any problem with 35mm lowering. It will fill the wheelcases very nice

yea sorry im talking about a 7.5 wheel

215 on a 7.5 is better but i wuold still go with 225 the wider the better.

ok i think im getting FN01Rc's or the Heidfeld Mesh in 18x 7.5 with 215/35/18 or 225/40/18...thanks guys

get at least 225...i can get 215 on my stock 7.5s

This may be a stupid question but how come you have two different offsets?

HAd 2 orders from 2 warehouses. Each had a different listing for the celica for offset. Both would work. I was gonna add h&r spacers to push the rear out anyway. The difference is minimal. You had to bend & twist to tell that that the rears sit out more.

225,35,18 will keep the speedo most accurate. 225,40,18 will make it read slow (~2mph?). 215,40 or 35, 18 will make it read about 0.6mph too fast. I got shop price on the 215,35's or I would have gone 225,35.

how do i know whether i need positive or negative offset?
