Is it possible to change my bolt pattern from 5x100 to 5x114.3?
The wheels I want are in 5x114.3 17x10 20offset.
So if I got the conversion adapters from 5x100 to 5x114.3 it would add 25mm.
It would make the wheels I want w/5offset, which would poke like crazy.

You know what really looks cool? Functional rim and tire setups. You can be more flush and have better handling than stock if you do it right. Can't remember with the 6th gen Celica, but if you get the offsets right you should be able to fit 8-9" wide with a 225 series tire and it be fairly flush without rolling. I guess the main thing is for the love of all things holy don't have that much tire stretch... Depending on the tire 225 on 9" is bad enough, but some with wider tread sections than others it doesn't look all that stretched. Not trying to tell you what to do, it's your car, but if you care about how the car handles and feels to drive at all then you should strongly reconsider what you're wanting. Plus you should be able to find something 8-9" wide in 5x100 to your liking, paired with some good summer tires it'll totally transform how the car handles and feels only in positive ways.

I agree. That's why I went from this:



225/45 on a 9"

to this:



245/45 on the same wheel

The first wasn't even that stretched, but it was still enough to make me uncomforatble.

Another thing is the tire diameter and sidewall height, I see Miata with 225 on 15x9 all the time and it doesn't look quite as stretched.
