Please Help I Need Advice On Corolla Alloys

[Rax]

Please if anyone could advise. I purchased some new 18 alloys for my Corolla T-Spirit 2002 with tyre sizes 215 35 18 (Toyo Proxes T1r's). I just wanted some advice on whether it is a good idea to put these wheels on and will it be safe for the car as I have historically used 17's on a Civic which were fine but first time with this Corolla and bigger wheels.

Does an 18" make a big difference to 17" and if anyone could please advise - does 18" alloys make the car safer or a risk (I will have them properly fitted tomorrow with correct fitting kit etc).

Kindest Regards

I think they are to BIG , i would go for 17inch with 215-45-17 tyres

G6R would those 215-45-17 be ok iff the car is on coilovers mines rather low ? I think 18s would be too big for the corolla any bigger than 17s and ur gonna start losing performance may have problems with arches catching.

when the offset is ok , but how low is your Rolla than

Had the 18" wheels fitted today no problems at all!. The wheels dont catch the arches but I must admit steering is a little heavier than historically with the 15"s. Other than that nothing much to say - I paid £450 for a brand new set of toyo proxes and bk rims (18's!) A bargain! Was going to sell them on but thankfully havent. Car looks stunning although am sure in the future I will end up paying for new tyres etc at high prices! than expected. My advice buy toyo proxes superb tyres and felt alot safer than with previous tyres! I will post some pics soon to aid future buyers of 18" wheels!
