Rims, what is needed to make this work., 18x9 and with the wrong bolt pattern... HUMOR ME. Options

[jcbass7]

ok first off these are the rims i have:



these are the rims i want.. (should have bought them first, but i was impatient and they were out of stock...... (< idiot)



The more i think about adding power to the car and someday AWD (yes) i want wide tires. besides i love the look.

TSW offers these sizes on the vortex^
17x8
18x8
18x9
19x8
19x9.5

17x8 is what i have and its not bad.

what i would love would be 18x8...

19x9.5 is nice but overkill on a celi..
but 18x9 seems like it will look good and be plenty wide..


but the BIG problem is... they don't sell it 5x100
they only sell 18x8 in 5x100. if i were to buy 18x8 i'd just buy 17x8's so i could have more sidewall, but i would like 18x9.. can i swap my hubs out from a different toyota etc? or am i really just being rediculous?

Ive given this option out to people before, its what im going with on my rims. http://www.wheeladapter.com/bolt_pattern_changes.asp

Seller said they were 5x100 they were 5x114.3 but i didnt want to part with the rims so i got these adaptors made. they give you more clearance for a wider wheel too. hope this help.

eeeek adapters .... you take risks with adapters.... and you loose some control.... you can change the hub itself if you wanted badly enough
