I'm trying to do this as well. It is not in the cards to use a spacer because I do not trust them with any sort of spirited driving.
If it were as simple as buying a set of wheels custom I would try to do that but spending over a grand on wheels is out of the question.

also to note, I'm working with a 5th gen.

This is flat out the simplest, probably cheapest, safest solution. All that is needed is a list of what works.

so far I've found that the rav4 hub works but needs the hub diameter trimmed to what a camry hub center is to match a camry rotor.
In the rear I believe the camry rotor and hub should bolt right up.

It would be simpler and cheaper to know if the camry hub would work up front instead of the rav4 one because then it requires no machining of the hub center and should press in without problems.

Lastly the final product would allow for using any 5x4.5/5x114.3 wheel and also match the mk4 supra hub center diameter.

So if anyone has attempted installing any of these pieces, I would definitely be interested in knowing how it went.

I should be hitting the junkyards soon to see how the camry hub swaps to a celica rear drum assembly.

 

Your nuts are on backwards. Lol but the problem is how big those spacers are. If i get some awesome 5x114 wheels I don't want honda offset

 

^That's snazzy and everything but I've got some 5x4.5 rotor hats itching to be used and putting a spacer between my rotor and hub makes me a bit squeamish.

 

These are my 5x100 to 5x114.3 hub and wheel centric adapters.

 

Bump, any new info on this? I'm doing brake nonsense and changing to a 5x114 would make my life easier....

 

just buy a 5x100 to 5x114.3 adapter in 1" and be done with it

 

first off, WHY? what do you think you are going to gain from doing this?

 

what do you think you are going to gain from doing this?

Wheel choices?

mine is 5x114.3 all you need is a lexus is 300 sub frame for the front and a rear subframe as well

 

mine is 5x114.3

Same :gap:

Easy peasy...

Was for me :shrugs: :chuckles:

 

So while I am in the process of rebuilding my front axles and hubs, I found the stock bearing, part number 363-40066, that the hub is pressed into is used in a bunch of different cars. So I would imagine that their hub could be pressed into Celica. Anyone know the bolt patterns?

^converting spacer will run about $400 for a complete set and they are 15mm. project kicks makes them. what the OP wants to do is a hub change to get a set a wheels with 5x114 pattern and then if he finds a different set he can get a different size or offset and not have to add or remove a large amount of spacers

 

Why the hell just not get a converting spacer????????

 

Ok maybe not a matrix...

AVALON 95-97 5X114.3
CAMRY 92-on 14 X 6 5X114.3
CAMRY SOLARA 99-on 5X114.3
RAV4 00-on 16 X 7 5X114.3

 

How about a matrix, thought they are 5x114?

 

/\ +1

 

u kno with the amount of money spent you'd probably be able to custom order wheels the exact way you want it.

itll be A LOT safer too... LOL

 

True but there are special cases for different wheels.
For example, I have custom 18x9.5 nt03s in 5x100 which were only made in 5x114/120 but enkei can only produce custom wheels in bulk of 10 sets and i just happened to get them in a group buy.
But yea id rather hub swap then have 40 wheels.

 

Uhhh.... errr.... I choose LIFE. Lol

 

then use my second suggestion and find another vehicle with either a larger hub to weld and re-drill...or another vehicle with an identical hub diameter.

 

Oh 1 other thing, you can buy brand new celica hubs and find a wheel shop to drill 5x114.3 lol ghetto but its also an answer.

like this guy. Good luck finding rotors. TEST TEST TEST TEST. Definition of R & D.

 

This is just retarded becuase of how close the holes are to the edge. a pot hole would snap them out :nono:

 

Check the diameters of the rotors to see if they are the same.

Get a bare celica hub and a bare avalon hub and match the spindles to see if you can press the Avalon 5x114.3 hub to the celica knuckle.

HUB:

Knuckle

If the hubs match and only the bolt patter is different you shouldnt have a problem. You can have AUTOZONE even pull both out and look at it there, or even NAPA.

good luck, let me know if that'll work.

 

alex you said fawk trying to get the tc hubs to fit. we talked about that!!!! lol

 

if you're gonna retrofit might as well go big and do a tundra hub/brake swap :

 

go big and do a tundra hub/brake swap

FAWK THAT! thats just insane, the calipers wouldnt fit :laugh: im not going for the break swap, im going for a hub swap!:eslap:

 

Doesn't look like the hub is large enough, exspecially in the front.

 

Really it seems like their is enough room, All u need to do is move a lil toward one side.

 

Well I tried looking for some pics and i found couple in the install guide for the front and rear. I dont see why we cant redrill the hub and rotor the but then i dont know if their is a downside to it :marky:
