wheels can easily be found. RA23's cannot be easily found. If u dont like the wheels u can always sell em!

Sorry i cant really help.

yeh i am aware of that...but the budget i have does not allow for this imperticular car plus new rims and tyres...so if i do get it it will be a while before i get new rims...for the money i have i would like some nice rims already on it...

I would guess that the rims would match the tyres...

Surely people dont throw enormous tyres on undersized wheels...

it could possibly look very good, but it may not have as much traction as it could... it may have less dry traction that it possibly could..

all it means is that the owner wanted bigger tyres for whatever reason..

215's can be big enough for a 1500kg car if the tyres are good enough Wink

I was going to say, I have 215/40R17s up front and 235/45R17s up back and didn't think the older gen Celicas could fit them without flares...
