Thanks Jamchell. I had the tires/wheels inspected and rebalanced and rotated (even though they are all brand new). I also had new hub centric rings installed. The vibration is still there, although...

I recently upgraded from the stock wheels to a new 17" tire/wheel combination. Since then, my steering wheel began vibrating at speeds above 60mph and it pulled to the right. I then got a 4-wheel al...

I do have an 8-speaker setup. So, are you saying that the 6-speaker Celicas have 6.5" front woofers, and the 8-speaker Celicas have 8" ones?

Has anyone actually installed the Focal 210CA1? I am looking to buy them, but Crutchfield's Signature website says that they do not fit the Celica. There are a plethora of smaller speakers that they...

For comparison purposes, does anyone know how much the 15" alloy stock GT rims weigh?

How wide are your 16" rims, and what size tires are you using?

Yes, those winter tires will be about as tall as 205/55-16, just much more narrow. Could you send me pics once you get those winter tires on in a couple of weeks? Thanks!

Yes, that is recommended size for a 16" rim. I am just wondering if anyone has gone taller than that on a 16. Thank you, though.

Well said 97GTinKC, those are my feelings on the subject as well. Now, can anyone tell me how large of a wheel/tire diameter I can safely get into the wheel well of my Celica without any rubbing? It...

Thank you all for your comments so far. But, let's take the weight of the wheels out of the equation for now, as I will probably buy 16" rims that weigh about the same as the 15" stock rims anyway. ...

You really think that lifting the car a half inch or so is going to negate the effects of lowering the engine revs per mile?

Actually, I already do all of those things. I am currently averaging 32-33 mpg in 85% highway driving. I am just wondering if I can do even better with a taller tire, as I am planning on getting rid...

One of the few things that I dislike about my '99 Celica Convertible is that the gas mileage isn't as good as it could be. The 1997-2001 Camry, which had the same engine, got 3 mpg better on the high...

Thank you for those pics and information!! So, if I get 17x8 rims (w/ +35 offset), the only way to not have ANY rubbing would be to get a smaller tire than the 225/45-17? I didn't want a 40 aspect r...
