I don't have any pics of my car from the rear right now but I love the way that my wheels look under it!!!

I have AXIS 19x8.5 with 245/35/19 T1-S Proxes all around on mine and I think that it is PERFECT.

As far as size VS. performance.... they are too big for 1/4mile just right for turns..

For the track(1/4 mile) I have TRAKLITE 17'S with Hoosiers

I haven't had any problems with rubbing anywhere unless I hit a nasty bumb going over 45-50MPH, And that was with stock suspension as well as my new setup(Tein S-tech's with KONI's)

...Also, as far as how wide they look from behind/under tire width makes a BIG difference.

Sweet, shoot me some pics!
---man, people from texas are answering the texan call to post here for a texan! LOL

...what do you other guys think of his wheels ^^^? Does it slow you down a whole lot? I'm not a track guy...but like my acceleration *.5 about as wide as you can go...?

thanks for you input!

[EDIT]: Where did you get them - - trying to find non-rice wheels that are good....

As for how much slower the 19's make me -I don't know I never ran them at the track( I'm scared to do a burnout on my 19" tires---$$$ )
...BUT, I can feel a difference on stop and go acceleration/decceleration, but as far as when I'm on the street I prefer the look comapered to the slight performance trade-off

As for a stock car with the larger wheels I can't really tell you the difference in feel because I have quite abit of performance work done . check out my profile I'll put up some pics with my new wheels tonight if I get a chance( the pics on there are my old Racingharts)

I added a couple pics to my profile with the 19's one is how my car is right now (taken apart) the other is a a car show here a few months back, I tried to find some that showed the width of my wheels and this is the best I have right now

okay, here is a link for some wheels on ebayerooo...not sure if they'll work...but just searching round...check 'em out and tell me what you think...

what i dont understand about you is you never seem to read or comprehend what peopel tell you.it has already been said that wider will be an upgrade, so why ask it again. also those rims wont fit the bolt patern is wrong.

lol, you're pretty funny. . .

if i were to ask a 5yr old which was better 7" or 8" . . . he'd say the 8" . . . as you'll see...in my first post, i knew wider was better, in fact the thread heading is "HOW WIDE CAN YOU GO?" (implying that wider is better). . . the reason i've posted this last one is to see how the bolt pattern is, and the wheel size....

...do not post here if all you have to say is stupid and un-needed...i'm looking for real answers, not "you never somprehend what people tell you" crap...

_____how would i know whether or not the bolt pattern is right_____?

its called searching. if you know so much then you might know the basics of the bolt pattern on your car is 5x100. what gets so annoying is that you bump your post and never seem to do research you want everybody just to up and answer your questions. use the search spend hours reading post then start thread about stuff you dont understand. if i sound like and asss thats cuz i am. i spend the first 2 years on this foruym reading and learning. i suggest you do the same.
-Aaron-

AGREED (afroman) And seems to you that every thing is rice to you. Rims are Rims there is no such thing as a rim that is RICE on your car. And I think everyone on this site will agree to that. Plus Have you ever even used the search on here? Because if you try it out on anything that you are wanting to know instead of post all the time. people are really gonna start not likeing you. Just like Afroman. Seriously just use the search and you will learn. Thats how i have been the only time i post things are if i have already used the search and don't know or understand what they are talking about then i will make a post. <-(also what Afroman means to that) I'm not trying to be a dick to you or nothing. i'm just trying to let you know before other people start saying the same things he did.

cut the kiss up ****, and the rice talk (has nothing to do w/this thread) celiracer, i don't need anoying crap from a fellow noob.

arron, i have used the search botton quite a bit. . .in fact i bet you'd be suprised.

...i had started this thread (no thread on this topic before), and may-as-well ask a simple question that would take at max 1 min. to answer.

Please don't post if you have nothing constructive to say. (celiracer)

Whats that? And Ya i'm sorry im a fello noob. But i've ben a guest on this site for about 2 years using the search.

To start off these wheels
won't fit on your car unless your planning on changing the bolt patterns of the Celica.
Why : Because it made for BMW not Toyota, They're replica of BMW M-Motor sport wheels.
As far as the question (Is wider better) Not @ all times knowing that Celica is FWD getting a wider wheel won't help you, Maybe if you were going for the look (For shows) it'll help.
If you really want to put on a wide wheels go fine you self a RWD like (Nissan 240sx, Toyota Supra, BMW 325I, Or others) You'll be able to put 10" ~ 13" wide wheels on the back.
As of Celica if you planning on putting a aftermarket wheels go from arrange from 15",16",17",18" & width range from 7",7.5",8".
And always remeber that you could stagger wheels even thought it won't do you any good in handling.
(Stagger example for Celica would be 18x7.5 front ~ 18X8 rear)

snap.
you need to settle down
and learn how to use the features of this site.
just looking thru the post ive seen the answer to your question 2-3 times.
you can fit up to a 19x8 or 8.5 in the front, with the right offset, and a 19x9 in the rear.
there isa sticky at the top of the page with rim & tire dealers. use it.
thread over.
