Nice! Those are great shots of your car too!

Sold my Celica....
Ok,

To answer the questions:

The wheels are 18x7.5 5Zigen Copse witha +35 offset with Falken Azenis 245/40/18 tires.

My suspension set up is stock struts with Ground Control coilovers. Before I put them on I had the coilovers lowered about 3.5 inches. When jacking it down all tires were hitting. I ended up rasing it about 1.5-2 inches. Driving around on these bouncy shocks and turning hard I still scrub a little so I'm going to have to raise it about another 1/2 inch. Hopefully when I replace my struts I can lower it again as it seems to high for me now that I'm used to being lowered 3.5" on 14" wheels.

Because of that scrubbing issue I recomend getting a +38 offset compared to a +35 that I have. The recomendations for our car is +35 to +42.

hey,
looks great..

i managed a tire store 5 years and i would say a better fit would have been
245/35r18 .. it has a shorter sidewall and this would be closer to oem diameter..
but if you are happy that is all that matters ... besides 245/35 cost more and is harder find than 245/40..

Gotta love those rims, they look great on your car. 2 thumbs up. >smile.gif>
thanks for all the positive replys. i'm glad everyone seems to be as happy with them as i am.

as for price they go for $1560 @ www.wheelmax.com but i paid $1050 shipped with the Falken tires mounted and balanced. found them on ebay but then negoitaited a deal outside of ebay with the tires.

cormudgen
EXCELLENT
You got them unbelievably chiep. I hope i lived in the states when this kind of miracles can happen. I have a silver GT4 1998 and those tyres would be perfect on my car as weel. Unfortunately they cost 3-4 times as much in my country so i settled with painting my 17"s dove grey like my leather interior
WOW!!!!!I like those rims on your car,great choice....
Awesome choice man...they look great and mad props to the guy with the camera you got skills with it
