Celica Gt (95) Wheel Sizes

[ChadPaul]

I've recently purchased a Celica GT (95) which currently has the standard 15 inch wheels.

I want to upgrade the wheels to 16's. I'm thinking of this size as I want the wheels to look good and not make the ride too hard. Does anyone no what the most suitable tyre size would be? e.g. 205/50/16 or 215/55/16?

go for 17s mate, not as big as 18s (obviously) but the ride quality is still good, think 16s may look a little too small imo

[Jamies Celica]

Yeah i agree with silvasurfa, go for 17's
