FRS wheel fitment, How to fit Options

[a2daj1]

[font="Impact"][/font] Hi everyone iv'e been a member for a while but i didnt want to post until i had a relevent topic! I recently decided to buy tires for my 94 celica gt coupe but came across some pretty much brand new Scion FRS wheels with new tires for 495.00 shipped so i fig why not. When i began to put them on i quickly realized that the front wheel rubbed my caliper bracket. Easy fix guys 5 mm spacer should do the trick and get you rollin any questions message me.

Indeed more for us now I just kinda find me a set whenever I finally get to the wheel part of my car haha, working my way from motor to interior to suspension to everything else haha.

More I see them on your car the more I like them lol

I think FR-S wheels look awful...but thats just me.

Same here but everyone's got their taste. Lol.

[The_enD]

Not to my taste too.

Any idea on the weight of those wheels? It'd be too much to ask you to pull the tires off, but if you could weigh the combined wheel and tire, and identify the tire brand/model/size, I'm sure I could find the tire's weight listed somewhere.

I'm hoping it's not too bad, considering the focus on weight reduction the rest of the car received. Can't imagine Toyoda would accept Toyota dropping wheels as heavy as those of the Scion tC (22 lbs) onto the GT86.

[Neon90424]

yeah I was just thinking it was too much to the sound of the 2000s tuner crowd and I swear Ive seen chinese replicas that are about 80-90% similar and that was around 2009, that car could pull off pretty much any kind of wheel and...meh

If you're planning on putting TC wheels on a FRS. It won't fit. The TC/celica centerbore is about 2mm smaller.

needz moar lower and bigger spacers, then I think they'd look pretty good on the car

[a2daj1]

More I see them on your car the more I like them lol

I wounder how they would look all one color.. Maybe in the future if you get bored.. =D

Glad to see you popped up over here.

As others have said over on ft86club - get regular lug nuts on those wheels. Tuner lugs are not meant to seat in factory wheels.



As far as tires go, I assume they are the stock FRS tires, so 215/45R-17 Michelin Primacy HP 87W. They clock in at about 19lbs each. Tire Rack seems to be down at the moment, so I am going off weight specs from somewhere else online.

I thought about getting a set cheap and turning them silver... I hate the two-tone design but the wheels themselves aren't terrible.

[Poonicus]

lol great minds think alike

[blockustomz]

wow... all one color looks so ****ing clean

[a2daj1]

Well u asked and u shall receive

[Noahwhite2014]

I think the FRS Wheels looks phenomenal when painted gunmetal. I don't like the look of them when matte though, be it black or any other color. Also Im fairly sure getting your hands on toyota center caps instead of the scion logo should not be difficult at all. Maybe $30-$60 for a gt86 set. Otherwise you could just buy a different center cap with the TRD logo etc.

Thank you for the reply I'm actually tossing around gold or bronze not sure right now they are just plastidipped.... As fr as the caps yes I plan on getting the Toyota ones butt there's problem the offset on the FRS wheels is so high my half shaft pokes through just enough for them to not fit I don't really want to run spacer but its either that or shave the half saft down about 2 to 3 mm which should allow enough room

[95CelicaST]

You would really benefit in the looks department by putting a spacer on them.

17x7 +48... and I know the Celica can slip a 17x8 +35 in the front, which means you should have room for a 20mm spacer all around. A 15mm bolt on at the very least.. bring it out to +33.

[a2daj1]

Hmmm sounds good are those extended stud ? I'm not too knowledgeable about spacers. I also plan on turning it into an auto x car which is actually y I'm worried about running spacers
