Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior 20's...

Are you guys absolutely sure that they won't fit, even if you rolled the fenders and all?

You MIGHT get them to fit, depending on your suspension setup and if you rolled the fenders.

But you'd have to get such ridiculously thin tires that it wouldn't be practical for daily driving.

For show, maybe.

please dont...

My 19's, with 215/35 tires.

You might could pull it off, if you don't care to turn.

Well, if you wouldn't be able to drive with them daily, then I guess they're out. 19's would be the best bet I guess.

Even 19's are pushing it. Look at Trojan's car.. he has 19's with 35 series tires. That's pretty thin if you hit a pothole

PLEASE don't...

dont get 20's.

yea a lot of risks...go 18s and a drop u'll be satisfied

I'm not.

good

hmmm, only now am i detecting a hint of sarcasm here...

Haha I wouldn't call 19s a best bet. Nobody stocks the tires, and the best price I could find online were $160 a piece. Bit of a loud and rough ride, too. ...though I don't hear or feel it anymore, personally.

They're lookers though.

No sarcasm. That was a serious question since they were a consideration.

waaaaaaayyyyyyy too big

Yes, I found that out already.

which rims did you want to get anyways?...

If 20's would have fit, I would probably have went with these..Giovanna Attacks

But the 19's that i'm getting are these..Axis Illuminati's.

not bad, but as was already mentioned, too big

20's can fit in rear. But not in front.

air ride suspension though...

The airride suspension just makes it go up and down?

yea, pretty much
wasnt that celica on ebay?

20's and you'll have to go straght at all the times...
No turns...

yup

"What's your 1/4 time?"

"Well it was mid 14's, but then I got the 20s..."

"So whatcha run with them?"

"My 0-60 time is 'maybe'"

Well, performance is the last thing that I care about, so it wouldn't really matter. But yeah, 20's would definatly slow you down a lot.

20's will fit i've done it first hand but slim turnin radius...but if you go 20's then its pure show so who cares if you can't go fast still loooks dope!

$160 a tire? Heh, that's less than what I paid for my yoko's.

And a 35 series tire isn't that easy to destroy. I've lost count how many times I've hit a pothole going 35mph+ & nothing has happened

Well are you able to do everyday driving then? Can they handle just regular turning?

ya no crazy turns just ez driving should be fine i was

Why did you get rid of them anyway?

i didn't buy them my local garage put them on for me to see if i really wanted them i dicided to go with 18's instead just cause of the area and i didn't have a second car yet so i really only wanted 20's for shows

How much would you could drop the car with them? Or would the wheel well almost be gone with just the rims?

IMO, 20's are just too damn big for the celi. They look great on suv's, but they just aren't meant for this car!

I've been thinking about it and I think 19's is what I should really go with. 20's will probably be a bit big and impractical.

To fit 20's sucessfuly, you will need to remove the plastics in the wheel wells and probably trim the fenders to fit them, not just roll them; Material will have to be removed from the fenders, and the sharp edges will need to be rolled. You will also need to add fender flares, you could do it, but it would take some tweaking.

Needless to say, your speedometer wouldn't be accurate anymore after the swap, and the sidewalls on the tires would need to be so short that You'll be sweating bullets just thinking about potholes.

Personally, I wouldn't go bigger than 17's, anything over 17's is generally considered overkill on our cars.
