Hi All
after checking available wheel choices for my st204, i decided it was time to change stud pattern from 5x100 to the more common 5x114.3 now i can run so many more choices of wheels. this is an easy conversion for anyone wanting to upgrade. the rear hubs and discs have enough meat on them to simply redrill. i used a cnc mill to redrill mine. i needed to weld up one of the access holes to provide enough strenth for 1 stud hole. another option is if you have a dividing head on your lathe, or access to one. or if you have the measuring and drilling techniques to a fine art, you could measure and do it at home. converting the front was even easier. remove hubs, and purchase a pair of sxa11 rav4 hubs. cv shaft spline and bearing diamaters are exactly the same. press rav4 hubs straight into celica hub carriers with new wheel bearings. next purchase yourself a pair of xv10 camry front disc rotors (celica rotors wont fit due to the increased hub diameter) put disc rotors straight on, and bolt your original calliper in place. the whole conversion cost me: Cnc machine work for rear hubs - bottle of bourbon at $38 (knew someone with cnc mill) rav4 front hubs - $240 (either $120 ea from toyota, or ~$100 from wreckers) xv10 camry front rotors new - $70 pair wheel bearing kit - $100 for both sorry for poor picture quality, all i had on hand was my mobile phone milling in action  more milling  newly milled rear hub   more pics added september 28: original st204 front hub being pressed out  standard celica hub beside new rav hub   Pressing the new rav hub into celica spindle  fits like a glove  bolted back onto car with new camry disc  this is my first post, i am only new to this forum, so sorry if this is a repost or this has been covered before.

i was thinking, how about the mr2 hubs. THe rear from the N/A MR2 use the same transmission and axles right? So same hubs??? just not sure about the fronts??

So same hubs??? just not sure about the fronts?? same hub spline probably but definitely different bearings. so you cant just press out the mr2 spindles and press into ours, Fact cuz it's cheaper for me to source out mr2 parts from work
