Any known hub assemblies that can be directly swapped onto our celicas so we have a better choice of used wheels?
Buying new wheels is a total waste(70% anyways), and 5x114 seem to be way more common. Alternateley, what do people think about adapters? Thanks! |

Looked on ebay, one pair of adapters is $60 plus shipping! Obviously not an option.

I wondered this exact same thing. i wanted 5x114 Knuckles so i went to the junk yard and i there was a 6gc with no Knuckle and camry which had the Knuckle removed. I took the camry knuckle to the celica and they are very identical but the camry knuckle is just a bit too big! the bolts are spaced wider and therefore would not fit into the lower control arm. Also, the two holes for the shock tower are also spaced wider. Sooo..... no dice, unless you can redrill those holes to fit the celica, but i wouldnt recomend it
i went with a wheel adaptor 5x100 to 5x114. they fit great i got them custom made at www.wheeladaptor.com hope that helped This post has been edited by eggman40: Jul 19, 2007 - 1:19 AM |

Don't you want your wheels to stay on the car? I doubt you will find a pair of hubs for that cheap [definitely not brand new], never mind the wheel bearings. They should also be changed if you change the hub.

The hub is the piece that sits in the wheel bearing and has the wheel studs in it. The assembly you are talking about is the axle carrier or steering knuckle.... By using the wrong names you gave the wrong advice..... I don't know for sure if a Camry hub will fit a Celica wheel bearing, but you don't need to worry about it bolting to the strut or lower control arm, all it has to do is fit into the wheel bearing and fit the splined shaft on the outer CV joint. --------------------  |

How much are we talking about here as far as used? If i post a WTB for some used hubs, do you think it would be possible? --------------------  "Remember, amateurs built the ark and professionals built the Titanic.
