Corolla 4x100 Fitment

131spanner

I've an '07 Corolla commercial that has needed a nice set of alloys for a while now and with OEM ones making mad money, I've been creeping donedeal for the next best thing.

I'm considering the silver RH wheels in this ad (Link). They're a German wheel, so am I right to assume that although they're 4x100, they wont fit the Corolla?

I'm kind of clueless when it comes to offset, center bore and similar stuff, would someone care to enlighten me?

dougie-lampkin

They are the right PCD, and look like the correct offset (it looks like 45 on the left side on the back of the wheel). The bore isn't mentioned, it should be bigger than your OEM size (54.1 mm) and can be reduced to 54.1 mm with spigot rings. Get him to measure it before you buy them or you might find they're useless for you. The bore is the diameter where the wheel sits on the spigot of the hub.

You might find them a bit of an oddball tyre size too, they're an 8 inch width which is a bit wide for a regular 195 width 15" tyre. He has 195's on the rims currently and they look horribly stretched. You'd probably be looking at a 215 width which is almost twice the cost per tyre. It's just something to consider, especially when he says they need 3 tyres, and really it's 4 tyres if you put the correct size on.

Those alloys don't look like they'd suit a corolla at all. If it was me id be looking in a breakers for genuine oem alloys. Not only will they fit the car like a glove but they will look much better too.

Worth noting that 2007-2013 model Corolla wheels won't fit.

The ones in the link will look terrible on a Corolla too

Here are some Corolla T Sport wheels

I love the look of the t-sports, thanks for the advice!

Do you all think these would suit/fit a corolla?

Suit - no
Fit - yes

You need 15s on a Corolla. 14" alloys look worse than steelies.

Thoughts on these?

Genuine toyotas seem scarce on dd or adverts in the munster region.

Those wouldn't look great on a corolla imo.

These definately would!

If they were 15s or 16s and in silver, then yeah they would

colm_mcm

Won't look great on a dark green corolla tbf.

joujoujou

Will or won't, it's just guessing...

Take a look and decide yourself.

Mayo is a bit far away anyway (in County Limerick)

nd

Any opinions on these?



for 110 euro, 15 inch.

Or the set on this for 120 "they've a few scratches"

colm_mcm

No and no.

nd

Any suggestions, stick with the hub caps? lol

colm_mcm

Nothing nice on donedeal at the moment.

Noccy_Mondy

Tough crowd nd :pac:

nd

haha I actually like



But noticed after posting they are 114 fitment.

colm_mcm

Thank Christ for that.
Do you not remember the 90s?

nd

They kinda remind me of these audi alloys



which look spectacular every time I seem them.

But obviously much smaller.

Toyotafanboi

they are wolfrace katanas, all the rage in the early 00's

there was a phrase coined a few years ago when all the "ex show cars" started coming out of the woodwork; "never trust a car on katanas"... the definition of tasteless now unfortunately (or not so unfortunately.

Try a cheeky offer, worth half it for the tyres.

90% tyres I'd bill but these wouldn't look top bad.

colm_mcm

Are they 14s or 15s, I dismissed them as 14s last night, but now I'm thinking they're uk spec 15s.
You'll need tyres anyway if you're getting 15s

131spanner

Ended up getting T-Sports. Thanks for the advice, gang

joujoujou

Good choice!

Out of curiousity are the 16s noticeably less comfortable than the ones that were on it(14s?)?

colm_mcm

There would have been 15s on that one originally (post 04)

The top ones are unfortunately in Donegal. I might give him a ring anyway to see are they gone.

If you were very, very peculiar about it, you'd know the car was sitting that teency higher when taking the bends. I hope to lower it 30 or 40mm to get it a bit less floaty on the roads.

In terms of average everyday driving, I found very little difference in comfort going from 15's to 16's

joujoujou

I'd be more than happy to have my everyday driving on urban/motorway/"N" roads - unfortunately my driving's on "R" or even "L" roads, full of potholes. That prevents me from going off 14" rims.

The original steel wheels suit the e11 best for comfort imo

I agree, I found a set of 7Jx 14 Toyota 8 spokes off a G6, Nice looking wheels on the E11 facelift.
Fitted 185-60/14 and they ride really well.
I wouldn't fit anything lower than 60 profile on these roads.

Yep those g6 wheels are nice, as are g6r/levin alloys Imo.

The third ones in the link above are actually quite nice looking.

Very nice looking! I wonder if they're 16's or 17's?

colm_mcm

I don't think they're 17s anyway, looking at them on the Corolla.

nd

Out of curiosity would you all travel approx 300km each way for alloys? He told me they are 16s.

colm_mcm

I'd want better pics of them first, and details of any buckles etc.

Be prepared for muppetry as well. Many people have travelled across the country to a seller that turns their phone off or sells to someone else.

Noccy_Mondy

Ya if I wanted them enough I would, and I really like them ones. It'll be well worth it if you do - proper, nice alloys make such a difference to a car.

But that's assuming, as colm said, they're in good nick.

nd

took about 11 hours of a drive in total with getting lost on the way home, but I love em. And he gave them to me for 200 which offset the cost of petrol pretty much.

131spanner

Fair play, they suit it! Well wear

colm_mcm

They look great. Nice find

MuppetCheck

They're a nice set of wheels!

joujoujou

Yeah!
