Now, before you guys come in guns blazing, understand this:
I've got an extra set of brand new 14" blizzaks that I got when I bought my st165. As my current snow tires have a few seasons on them already, I'm wondering if it would be possible for me to run OEM ST165 rims with those new winter tires on my basically stock 96 GT. If not, it'll be alright, I can use my current winter's for another season if need be, I would just prefer to get new ones. The only reason I'm asking is b/c I have to cut a deal with the missus so that I can pick up the summer wheels that I want and in order to have my cake and eat it too... You get it. Like I said, all I want to know is if I can run those 14s without issue. I would just test fit the wheels, but the 165 is 200 miles away from me at the moment. -------------------- ~bloodMoney

The ST165 has the same 5x100 bolt pattern as the 18x/20x.
It was the 86-88 celica ST that had the 4x100 bolt pattern IIRC. Im worried about brake clearance here... -------------------- ~bloodMoney

I doubt it... shimming the wheel out doesn't gain you any diameter clearance. Unless the wheel was tapered in such a way... but unlikely edit: typo This post has been edited by ricochet1490: Aug 28, 2011 - 9:20 PM --------------------  |
