The celica comes with a 5x100 lug pattern. I bought wheels on ebay that i thought, and the seller thought were 5x100 but were actually 5x114.3 so i had to get the adaptors made in order for the wheels to fit my car.

how much did that run you? It ran me around 300

Looks like either I:
- go with 15 mm spacers by brand producer (H&R, Ichiba, Ultralite) with longer studs and hubcentric rings (need to go from 54.1 to 73.1)
- address one of local companies producing spacers to provide me with 10 mm spacers with integrated centering adaption and buy quality longer studs

There is no easy way, but most probably I will go the first one.

What are hubcentric rings? Is it necessary to use them when you use spacers?

Hubcentric rings are plastic rings that are fitted to match the difference between your hub on your wheel and internal diameter of the rim. This to make sure that the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub when you bolt them onto the car.

It depends on the hub opening size of your wheels. It has nothing to do with spacers.

You are correcting ofset TO THE RIGHT ONE. Celica ofset is +38. so if you are using wheels of +42 so you are putting your rims MORE inside - so using spacers is just putting rims into correct position as it WAS from factory.

Tom - my honest opinion - if you gonna go with 15mm spacers - try to find ones what bolts on to your stock studs and spacers have own studs... 15mm longer studs just doesnt sound too good for me...

Thanks god my new Volks are +32... More then enouth - i will even have to roll my fenders...

So finally I have bought H&R spacers: Trak+ DRS system, 15mm per side, with long replacement studs. They look really trustworthy. 125$ per axle.

How are the 15mm H&R's working out for you? I'm faced with similar problem. Had susperstrut front suspension fitted to my Celica and the ST205 brake calipers. There are 25mm spacers on there now, but the ET is a bit too low now. ET45 rims you see. So I'm thinking 15mm H&R as well. Any problems so far?
