Like the title says, I'm trying to figure out what (reasonably priced!) wheels will work with ST205 GT4 4-pot/2-pot brakes. I currently have 7th gen Celica GTS 16's on the car and the brakes won't fit with those wheels. I don't have room in the fenders to add spacers on the current wheels. I'd also like to stay with 16's to keep things as low-profile as possible. These are going on my Camry, but fitment is pretty similar between the Celicas and my generation of Camry....

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Charlie

PS. I'm aware of the issues with fitting the brakes on my hubs and I'll be solving those issues too.

16"s?

Yikes.

Stock ST205 wheels are 16"s and will fit.

I know 17" superleggras and supertourismos also go on.

Best thing to do is offer them up and see what works.

try a wheel with 35offset. something like 17x8 35offset would be perfect

Haha... well, I like the way the 16's look (I really don't want the car to be flashy), tires are cheap(er), etc.

I barely have room for 225's if the offset is just right (I have 205's right now with about a half inch of clearance). I was hoping to avoid cutting/rolling - but that may be necessary.

I found a good thread over on GT4OC that is helping out.

Now I gotta go find a picture of the stock ST205 wheels to see if they look good or not...

Thanks for the replies so far.

They don't. They're weird looking 3 spoke alloys.

They won't work on the camry because these calipers are designed and offset to fit only the super strut suspension. To even bolt on the celipers will require modification to the caliper brackets. I believe on most toyotas, the bolts bolt onto the bracket, but on these calipers, the bolts bolt onto the knuckle. Assuming you can get these to bolt, the knuckle offset wouldn't be right so there's no gurantee you can even run the ST205 rotors. To finish off... you cannot swap over the super strut front suspension without much of the steering rack.

Yup. Those look better. I wonder if anybody has those in the US? I guess I'll start asking around with importers...

There is no way to get the superstrut suspension to work on my Camry. The front suspension design is significanly different between the Celica's and my gen Camry. The hubs are almost the same though... (non-superstrut, I mean)

Trust me, I'll figure out a way to get these brakes on my Camry... Custom brakets are no problem. That is a project for AFTER the rest of the swap though.

Yup. Facelift cars got 6 spokes. I have a set in my garage.

The problem isn't the offsets as such, it's that the calipers are bloody huge and a lot of spoke designs foul them.

I tried a set of 18x8 split rim Racing Harts that didn't go on. Not even close.
