Just been to my local garage askin info on the Celica,
asked em if they worked on many? they said a few. Many problems ugrading wheels on them? he then gave me a really funny look and basically said not to go near them, I asked him to elaborate as that just aint happnin and he went on to say that there are only about 5 sets of aftermarket wheels that will go on them,(bear in mind im in the uk)due to the wheel bolt spacings, he said also that they cost a fortune as theyre so rare. This is not what i wanted to hear and more to the point not what id heard before. He was then saying how one time a bloke wanted to swap his front wheels for his back to save tyre wear and they were completely different spacings on the bolts, mentioned the difference being 100mm and 110mm or something. If anyone knows what im talikng about and wants to make me feel better please do.  The car im selling was a bitch when it came to this and was hoping it would be easier with the celi, also just found out that my dream 18s have dropped to an affordable price and was gettin really excited

The fronts and backs are the same. 5X100. There are heaps of wheels that fit that bolt pattern but if you want some that fit properly you will have to do a bit of searching. Fitting properly meaning that it should be hub centric with the correct offset and have the bolt pattern of 5X100
