I just wanted to make sure that the bolt pattern on my GT4 WRC is 5x100 like the rest of the models before I go buying the wrong wheels, and no special offset. Can anyone confirm for me please?

yes. 5x100 same as all the celicas. However the GT4 has bigger front calipers and you must have ET35 min in order for them to fit.

You should use ET35 as a guide only (its a good guide but dont think that if the wheels are ET35 they will definately fit)....it depends alot on the spoke design...my wheels are ET38 and still fit with plenty of room, I know of some ET35 wheels that do not fit the GT4 and hit the calipers....buying alloy wheels for a GT4 is a nightmare to say the least.

Best thing to do is to is to find a wheel that you like and then check to see if any one else has the same and check which ET they used or if they had any fitment issues.

I found some 17" mags that are ET42mm, I should have no problem right?

depends on spoke design, you might need a 5 or 10 mm spacer.

and if I did need a spacer it would be minor and relatively cheap correct?

meh if I were you I would skip the scion wheels since you have a GT-4 and look for a 17x8" +30 to +35 or so.

heres a good 10mm spacer, $114 a pair, you would need 2 pairs:

They are much cheaper on ebay, but lower quality

I found some 7th gen gts wheels. they are +39 and 16X6.5 I believe. I shouldn't have any problems with them huh?

^ That would be a pretty clean look...if they fit, go for it.

I believe you`ll need spacers.

dammit I just can't win.

I already bought them so when they show up I'll try them on for size. I got them fairly cheap so if they need spacers I guess I'll have to get some

Hi i have a gt4 and was running 16 by 7.5 et45 now everyting cleared because of spoke design but dame it was close. now running 17 7.5 with et 35 with loads of room no spacers just put straight on.

6.5 wont be wide enough It will take a 205 tyre max which will bulge out because 6.5 is supposed to take a 195.

Stock size is 215/50R16 on a 16x7.5 wheel so handling will be very different.

I just test fitted my 7th gen gts wheels and I will need a 10mm spacer to make them work.

I used 10mm blocks of wood to dry fit them and I couldn't even get a lug nut started so imma probably have to go and pick up slightly longer studs. Good news is the inside clears the caliper the same as the stock wheels do so no issue there


edit: it looks like the kit comes with longer studs anyways
