I was going to get 18s but it's just a bit big for my style. I don't want to run lower profiles that I already am. California tends to like to "fix" their roads everyday. Lol.

Really? Lol. These rims are becoming more hard to come by since they're discontinued.

That hub swap is beast... Did you already have rear disc on the car before the hub change?

speaking of red, you need to paint your calipers black or something. the red just sticks out wayyy to much and is a little distracting.
side shot looks really good though!

Yea I've been planning on repainting them blue or black or just plain grey. Just never really got to it. Too lazy to mask off everything and sand down the calipers. Lol.

Yea I was actually going to do it but didn't have time. I only planned 2 days to do the conversion since this is my daily car. I spent 3-5 days doing the conversion instead. Skipped one day of class just to get it back on the road.

Yeap. This wheel is made back in the 80s or early 90s. Kind of forgot. 3 spoke is not commonly seen anymore. Nowadays it's all about 5 or 6 spoke wheels. Or mesh wheels.

Need this kit exactly! You mind sending me a link for this? It's so hard for me to figure thus stuff out but if you have done it then it makes it so much easier!

^Sorry but there's no "kit" for the conversion. You just have to piece it together yourself. Here's the pic of the recommended pieces you should get. What's missing in the picture is the 2 front bearing dust covers and the 2 rear hub o ring. Also the shoe brakes are not needed but it's nice to do everything at once and replace it while you're in there already.

Let me ask you something... I might sound super dumb... Are GT Celicas equipped with rear wheel calipers or did you do the conversion. I've always had an ST. If this is true I have a nice ST for sale. :-(

I believe all GT and 25th anniversary ST editions had rear disks. The limitied edition might have it also. IF you don't have rear discs then you'll have to buy the parts for that conversion beforehand also.

GT's had disks all the way around and ST's had disks up front and drums in the rear. Even then the front disks and calipers are different between the two. It is possible to upgrade the ST to the GT's braking if you go up to 15's or bigger and have all the needed parts to do so. Not too terribly hard, I think the hardest part is redoing the emergency brake.

On a side note you can just go the easy route and get adapter spacers, convert and get the wheels a little further out all at the same time.

I'd agree with box. If I had a st to begin with. begin wouldnt do the pcd conversion just because it'll involve the rear disc conversion also. Just run 5x100 to 5x114.3 adapters. It'll cost you around $230 shipped for good quality ones. Only thing that sucks is that your wheel choice is still limited with adapters.

kindasad.gif Thanks. I'm looking at a GT right now. My ST is bare bones with no power windows, power mirrors, sunroof, 4 wheel disc brakes, or cruise control and a slow 1.8 FA. Time to upgrade. It's hard to let go of your baby though. I might keep it for parts but the wife doesn't understand things like that. kindasad.gif

Should just do a 4age swap. Your car is much lighter without all the power windows and locks and etc. The 4age would be nice to build in a lighter 6gc.
