You could take a hammer and pound out one of your studs. There you GO a 4 lug conversion.

They custom make all the adapters to customer request. Basically, what a wheel adapter is going to do is bolt onto your existing hub, which is 5x100, and have it's own lugs sticking out in the desired lug pattern that you want. However, if your reasoning to convert to 4x100 is to save money, you should consider the cost of changing your lug pattern. The cost of 4 adapters is around $300. Unless you found a really rare set of discontinued wheels for an extremely good price, it's hard to justify converting to 4lug just to save money. The cost of buying 5x100 over 4x100 will not be greater than $300, so in the end, it would just be cheaper to buy 5x100 rims. The best reason to do a lug conversion would be if you wanted a really rare set of wheels that were only made in a different lug pattern. Or if you got a killer deal on a set of really expensive nice wheels that aren't the same PCD as your car. Most of the higher end wheels are not made in 5x100. --------------------  |

you are not saving money on rims unless you are borrowing different sets from other 4 luggers, again if you would buy 300 dollar adapters then you should just apply that to your 5 lug rims instead.

the easier way is to take your celica and sacrifice it for a honda. other than that not worth it.
