carbontc Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 what's the best aftermarket rim size I can get for my 2k5 corolla s? I want to keep factory tires but I want to get rid off the steel wheels that came with it. is it 5x100 with 40 or 50 mm offset? Thanks.

fidgits Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 well, if you want to keep the stock tyres then you'll need to stick to the 14/15" size the car comes with. If you go for a larger wheel, you can get low profile tyres to maintain the rolling radius.. Depends what your after really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranic Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 MSR 18" wheels (sorry not sure of the offset) Toyo Proxies 205-40-R18 So far they work perfect with no rubbing, at stock hight. I plan on lowing the car 1.5"-2" either with the TRD springs or a set of Eibachs. Depends on the price mostly. I have heard at that hight there is no problems with rubbing but I'm not sure about going lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just add springs, you may get a bouncing effect over bumps or on the highway. You also may not rub on a flat road, but if you hit a bump or a curve at speed, you may get some rubbing...really annoying if you've just spent a few thousand bucks on wheels, tires, suspension..

BF_JC230 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 you should upgrade shocks when lowering the car to keep the piston in its optimum stroke....and so it does not bounce and float... and my research shows 5x100 et 45 Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fidgits Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 dont forget, the larger the rim, the more you comprimise the handling... going up to 16" may help (especially if you use a forged rim to reduce unsprung weight) but beyond that, you will comprimise your handling ability of your car...
