**sleepermx83** · 29-01-2008, 08:15 PM

hi all im after some rims for my gen6 celica
and have been told that subaru rims will fit??

anyone know if this is true??

**millsi** · 29-01-2008, 08:24 PM

mmmm i thought most late model subarus were 5x100 which is a fairly unique stud pattern.
can anyone else clarify?

late model celica (1990 onwards i think) are 5x100 PCD

useful PCD link i found: http://www.carlsalter.com/wheel_fitments.html

same pcd, different offset.

all celicas st16x, st18x, st20x, zz23x are 5x100.
what you need to check is the offset.
early model wrx's are 5x100, later model STi (05 06 > ) are 5x114.3

IIRC the wrx is around +42 or +50 offset. the celica is +35/+38 depending on rim width.

yeah my friend did. he ran a +20mm spacer so that it didn't foul anything.
on the old forums crazy_camry did the same on his camry which had the same pcd and offset as celica and he too ran a 20mm spacer.

which size rims are you after?

ok checked your profile and you have an st204. ST205 had +45 offset on the std 16x7.5 rims.
if you're getting similar sized rims from a wrx then it should be fine.
eg these ones should be fine.

these are the one,s im looking at.
there of a liberty and are 17x7 +55 off set

**horse** · 29-01-2008, 09:49 PM

i'd say you'll definitely need a spacer for that.

**whatthe?** · 29-01-2008, 09:58 PM

I thought only the STi stuff was 114.3?

**horse** · 30-01-2008, 03:01 AM

ah yes you're right. as you can tell i'm not really that subaru informed

**sleepermx83** · 15-02-2008, 08:20 AM

17x8 +35 looks like it may just fit. have you tried 6gc.net ? they'd give you a better indication as i'm not familiar with the 6gen

I ran 18x8 Subie TSW rims on the GT8. Only issue was these rims needed longer wheel studs.

(ps they are FS if interested

)

I remember clarence telling me that his ST205 had a different offset to the ST204, I'm pretty sure the 204 runs the same offset as the rest of the FWD celicas.

My cousin used to run 17x7 wheels with a +50 offset (meant for a subaru) on his ST204 without issues, it just looked silly because the wheels sat so deep inside the wheel arches.
