What tires will fit my Celica?

Well I have a 93 Celica ST. Its a 5 lug. I was wondering what size of tires will fit my car. Like how many inches and what lug pattern. I was also wondering if this would fit my car http://wichita.craigslist.org/pts/2547347024.html
Thank you so much

Well, I'm going to assume you're looking for wheels, not tires.

You need 5x100 lug pattern, those are 5x114 (or 5x4.5). Not too many cars come with this pattern. Look for either aftermarket wheels with that pattern or where they are drilled for two different 5 lug patterns. The only cars that I know of that came with 5x100 are: Celicas, Corollas (the lastest few gens), some VWs, and 5 lug cavaliers. I would look for either 6th or 7th gen celica wheels. The 2000+ celica GTS wheels look great on your generation and are 16x7.

I would not go beyond 17" wheels, not only can they look oddly oversized, they can be a pain to fit correctly. Also keep in mind the price of tires as you go up in size, the prices go up exponentially.

If you go with 7" wide wheels (which will likely be not only most common, but least difficult to fit), you'll want an offset somewhere between +35 and +42. Any higher you risk rubbing a strut or an inner liner, any less of a offset the wheels may stick out beyond the wheel well.

So, ideally look for 15"-17", up to 7" wide, 5x100 lug pattern (or dual drilled), and with a +35-42 offset.
