What size tires are on a Celica GT4?
The Celica GT-Four, Toyota’s all‑wheel‑drive performance variant, did not use a single tire size across its lifetime. The factory size depended on the exact generation and market. In brief: ST165 used 14‑inch wheels with around 195/65R14; ST185 used 15‑inch wheels with 205/50R15; ST205 used 17‑inch wheels with 225/45R17.
Overview by generation
Below are the commonly listed factory tire sizes by GT-Four generation. Market-specific variations exist, and some owners run aftermarket wheels that can change the nominal size.
ST165 (1986–1989)
During the first GT-Four era, the rally‑inspired model rolled on smaller 14‑inch wheels. The factory tires most often cited for this generation were:
- 195/65R14
- 205/60R14 (market variations)
These sizes reflect the approach of that period, prioritizing balance and ground clearance on a compact chassis. If you own a ST165, verify the placard in the door jamb for the exact spec, as wheels and trims varied by country and model year.
ST185 (1989–1993)
The second-generation GT-Four moved to larger 15‑inch rims to better suit its handling and turbocharged engine. The commonly cited factory size for this generation is:
- 205/50R15
As with the ST165, variations by market or optional wheel packages could apply. Checking the tire placard or owner's manual will confirm the precise size for your car.
ST205 (1994–1999)
The final and most widely featured GT-Four used 17‑inch wheels in many markets, with the standard tire size typically listed as:
- 225/45R17
Performance‑minded packages and regional differences occasionally led to slight deviations (for example, 235/45R17 in some markets, or different tread patterns). Always rely on the vehicle's door jamb placard for the exact specification on a given car.
Summary
In short, the Celica GT-Four's tire size is not uniform across all models. It evolved with the car: ST165 commonly used 14‑inch wheels with 195/65R14 (with some markets seeing 205/60R14), ST185 used 15‑inch wheels with 205/50R15, and ST205 used 17‑inch wheels with 225/45R17 (with occasional market variations like 235/45R17). To determine the exact size for a specific car, check the tire placard in the door jamb or consult the owner's manual or original Toyota documentation for that model year and market.
