I am liking these rims and wonder if they would fit. There wrx rims 5 by 100 like a celica and the offset is 48 does anyone think I will have problems fitting these rims? I read online others putting wrx rims on a celica let me know asap they end soon

you will need spacers ( I'd recommed 10 MM ) and they'll fit / look perfect.

not good, better get a smaller offset rim.

im using a 5zigen +48, which is not so suitable for a celica, i got a prob now since im going GTE with 4 Pot Calipers . Best is 35+

if you add a 10 mm spacer, you'll have a 38 mm fitment,

I think is cheaper to add some spacers than replacing the wheels, just make sure you get quality spacers / studs and you'll be fine.

I would only recommend 8mm spacers on stock studs. Any larger and I would say you need extended studs.

8 mm spacer will not fit on stock studs, anything bigger than 3 mm is recomended to get longer studs.

Really? We don't even have .39" to spare with stock studs?


Well I suppose either way it isn't worth the extra money just to get a high-offset wheel to fit.

~ 2 years ago, I tried to fit 5 mm spacers and I had like 1 turn on my lugnuts ( NOT SAFE )

I think is worthy, because the cost of replacing wheels is a lot higher, plus if you get the right spacers, these wheels will sit flush with the body.

I have cheap ebay rims on the car no there 40 offset, and They fit how much difference would it be? A 5mm spacer would work then?

The difference between +40 and +48 is around .315" inwards, which means the wheels and/or tires have a high chance of rubbing on the strut body. I had +42 Rays and those sat REAL close to the strut body. You wouldn't be able to run negative camber at all.

And a 5mm spacer will bring a 48 offset to 43, which still isn't very good. You'd want a 10mm spacer at least to bring you out to a 38 offset. To run that large of a spacer you will need to purchase extended studs and have them installed, which isn't very cheap. Then you'll need to buy open-ended lug nuts to fit the extended studs. Once you have the studs and lug nuts you can put on a 10mm spacer, and mount the wheels.

I see, 10mm spacer new lug nuts. With the spacer will my rims an tires be even or close to the fender edge for a wide stance look? Cause mine on there now set in side the fender about 2 inches and it looks like crap

I believe +35 is just inside the fender, so you'll be 3mm inside of that, or just .11" inside from a +35 offset.

im not sure about using a spacer, is it reliable, handling problems?

My Rims

sounds like a high offset, try test fitting it and see if it clears teh brakes or suspension and if not use spacers but do not use too big of a spacer. Keep it minimal.

They are +48

thinking to get the 1" Spacer...

Did not want the headache so I did not get them. Is there a way if I get a lower offset for the rims to be flush with the fenders? Maybe a lower offset that 35?

actually 35+ will be nicely flushed with the fenders

1 inch spacer. Will give you an offset of 23. Will have a bit of poke and will need stretched tires.

(1 inch (25mm), a 15mm spacer should work nicely for you if you still want the wheels to tuck. Give you 33mm offset.





Depends on definition of flush. If by still fit in the wheel well, then yes.
