Now, before you guys come in guns blazing, understand this:

I've got an extra set of brand new 14" blizzaks that I got when I bought my st165. As my current snow tires have a few seasons on them already, I'm wondering if it would be possible for me to run OEM ST165 rims with those new winter tires on my basically stock 96 GT.

If not, it'll be alright, I can use my current winter's for another season if need be, I would just prefer to get new ones.

The only reason I'm asking is b/c I have to cut a deal with the missus so that I can pick up the summer wheels that I want and in order to have my cake and eat it too... You get it.

Like I said, all I want to know is if I can run those 14s without issue. I would just test fit the wheels, but the 165 is 200 miles away from me at the moment.

Aren't those 14" from your st165 4x100?
T20 has always 5x100 bolt pattern

should be fine. use 14" steelies then.

The ST165 has the same 5x100 bolt pattern as the 18x/20x.

It was the 86-88 celica ST that had the 4x100 bolt pattern IIRC.

Im worried about brake clearance here...

14's will not fit on a gt. they will fit on the ST tho. unless they are some funnky special 14s designed to clear the 154 brakes

hmm how bout using spacers? would that work?

I doubt it... shimming the wheel out doesn't gain you any diameter clearance. Unless the wheel was tapered in such a way... but unlikely

sucks for the issue here because those tires are sex in the snow
