What else besides hubs? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #50567 8 posts Started by Slick
I've decided that the only way to install my new brake discs that are 5x100 onto my 5x114 hub is to swap out the hub to 5x100. If i buy new hubs, do I need to change anything else out in order for the new hub to fit? I want to make sure that i get everything at once. Thanks!

On the Celica? I thought all Celicas were 5x100.

Unfortunately, the JDM versions are not. Well at least mine isn't.

Are you sure?
I would double check that you don't have it backwards [your kit being 5 x 114].
The ST205 is 5 x 100, including the JDM version.
All the JDM 4th and 5th gen stuff is the same.
I'm 99% sure ALL 6th gens worldwide are 5 x 100.

If you do have 5 x 114 on your car someone has already switched them most likely.
5 x 114 is a more common size, so easier to find wheels in.
If it is all you need to do is get 4 5 x 100 hubs from a Celica, and 4 wheel bearings.
Press out the wheel bearings, and press the new ones in, then press in the hubs.
Just to confirm that all 6th gen celica including jdm versions ss1,2,3 , gt4 etc is 5x100
Ok. i'm going to give it another try and see if i can't get the discs on there. perhaps they have been changed by the previous owner. if they still don't fit, i'll have to purchase/find the correct hubs and wheel bearings. I'll let you all know.

So i finally got my car back from the body shop and since i had time this weekend, i tried to fit the brake discs. And of course, they didn't fit. See pics.

Here are the brake discs that i ordered.

Here's how they weren't fitting. JUST off by a little bit!

I measured from the left edge of one hole to the right edge of an opposite hole on both discs.

New:

Basically, the ones on my car are closer to 5x100, than they are to 5x114.

Oh well. Hubs it is then.
