anybody putting 16" wheels and tires up front for winter?

can someone tell me what rim size would fit...

 

check out www.tirerack.com

they have winter packages that might have the 16" sizes

 

Would 16's be better? Or do you just have some lying around that fit? By the way whats up dude?!!!

 

at least focus more on the width for good traction on the snow rather than rim size

 

I kind of want 16"s too. I just want thicker tires.

 

i have 15's up for sale brand new in the box from toyota
pm me for price

 

You want a thinner tire for winter so it can cut through the snow and grip on the asphault underneith. There is a tirerack consultant on this site somewhere. And there are a couple treads on snow tires already. I have a set of 17's I'm gonna run with Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50's for the winter.

 

bump, for price, cmon guys

still for sale 15's brand new in box from toyota - pm me for price - the skinnier the better! great low price!

 

Get a set of used 16" Celica GT-S rims. Run a 205/55 16 tire because that's the closest match. You don't need different lug nuts and the center caps from the tc fit the center of the celica rims.

 

bump

 

have you tried putting the GTS wheels on a TC, or you just think they will fit right?

 

you don't want to put winter tires up front w/o putting winter tires out back, too..the car would have serious potential to slide..which wouldn't be cool, as some people may think. it's ok to put winter tires out back on a RWD vehicle and leave all-seasons or whatever upfront, because those wheels are simply being powered, they're not steering the car.

 

should fit i have seen matrix rims on a a tc, tc rims on a gts and gts rims on a matrix so i dont see why they wouldnt fit on a tc.



i have been searching for a decent priced set for about 5 months now and still cant find any thing local

 

I called up tirerack and got 15s.

Here is my order: (just ordered today. the guy recommended the size based on the computer and the fact that i wanted 15s)

Also went with probably the best snow/ice tire out there.

if the question is will they fit.. then yes

the tC spec edition comes with 16inch steelies

and the gt-s rims from a celica are a sure fit. i have seen it done on a tC locally
