    they can be as thick as you want them to be... you can find at any car parts store. Real expensive though. like 200-300 dollars

    I meant to ask who has them, where did they get them, and what size they are using.

    I used some of the H&R Trak+ wheel spacers when I had my 2000 Celica. I had 15mm on the front and 25mm on the rear and never had any problems with them. You can check them out at http://www.hrsprings.com. The 00+ Celica applications should work just fine on the Corolla.

    they should. u juss have to watch out cuz it changes the offset of your wheels a lot. if ure car is too low, its gonna start scraping and the back tires might start shedding.

    Rim size really has nothing to do with it, tire size is what matters when your talking about rubbing or not.

    i think it does cuz the bigger the rim is, the closer it is to the fender lining so it takes less force to make the wide tire to contact with the fender lining than having a smaller rim.

    It still depends on tire size thou. You could have a 16" rim and a 18" rim, and the overall diameter of the tire will still be the same.

    But the width of the tire dose play a big role in weather or not it will rub.

    If your talking about diffrent sized wheels on the same modle of car, the tire diameter should stay as close to stock as posible, but what changes when you change wheel size is the hole inside the tire.

    Get what im sayin?

    Heres a pic:

    See how the height of the tire stays the same, but the wheel inside the tire gets bigger?

    Read this link about plus sizing wheels. Which is pretty much what you do when you buy wheels for your car but try to keep the same tire diameter, which is why you get a smaller sidwall.
