I drive a 2003 celica GT.
Tires read 195/60R15
Rims I am looking at are:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7951134372&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
They are 15 inches but it gets into detail about bolt placement and stuff, which i know nothing about.
If anyone could give me the thumbs up or down for if these would work, that would be awesome! Thanks

Dosnt the 2003 Celica come with 16" alloys on as standard? why would you want to put smaller wheels on your car?
Celica has a 5 x 100mm bolt pattern and the standard wheel has a 39mm offset so no, they wouldnt fit.

th smaller the wheel diameter the less power you loose to the wheels.... try n keep the overall size the same cuz your spedo wont ever be correct if not..
theres a gear in the spedo that goes off how many revolutions your tires go...bigger the tire the longer the revolution, im going like 27 when t says 25...not a big change but just a thought

If you want bigger wheels, just have lower profile tyre`s. the rolling distance will be the same.
Even though I have 18`s on, with the tyres I have, the rolling distance of the wheel is slightly less than the standard 16`s. there is a site where you can work out which size tyres you can run to maintain the same rolling distance as the standard set up on your car. celica`s can take up to 19 inch alloys without changing the rolling distance of the wheel, with the correct tyres fitted of course. 235/30/19`s I think.

Found the site- with those tyre sizes the rotational offset is only 0.6% which means that every mile that you travel, your wheels will turn 2.9 less times than the standard. Which i doubt very much will change your speedo reading.
