1995 Corolla DX

Hey everyone im new to this forum and as the title says, I drive a !995 Corolla DX. I was wondering if anyone could help me with something. I want to put rims on my car. Question 1. Will 18's fit without having to do anything to make em fit? 2. What kind of lug pattern does a corolla have of my year and type? Thanks and i hope i get alot of responses!

the bolt pattern is 4-100, as for the 18's, i've seen pics of them on these cars but don't know what tire size or offset they where, but other wise they should fit

Not to be a dick but 18's will look retarted without a drop, even if the overall diameter is the same. Your ride will be bumpy as shit, and the car will accelarate a lot slower (remember: weight of the wheels factors more than just weight in the car). Also, if you get the wrong combination of tire width and offset, your wheels will rub either the fenders or the struts.

18s are just too big man. I'd say 16" tops with a no bigger than 215 tire especially if you will have a different offset. (Although I'm not guaranteeing that that won't rub.)

I had to file down my fenders a lot because my 205 tires with a 38 offset (4mm farther out than stock) rubbed when the suspension bottomed out.

i have 15's on my mazda and i bent a rim, i can only imagine how much damage you could do with 18's. you should stick with 16's or max 17's, crap with the 14's on my corolla i watch out for pot holes i would hate to spend that much money on rims i know are going to get messed up.
