RIMS - will these work?

I drive a 2003 celica GT.
Tires read 195/60R15
Rims I am looking at are:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%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

Re: RIMS - will these work?

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.

Re: RIMS - will these work?

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

Re: RIMS - will these work?

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.
