Re: supra/celica wheels
They're definitely great looking wheels, but not only are they the wrong bolt pattern, they're also near zero offset, so would stick out from the fenders a bunch

Re: supra/celica wheels
I think those are the same wheels I ended up with As I recall the stock brakes fit OK under them, but when I went to Corolla GT-S brakes on the front I had to get a spacer + grind ~1/16" off the caliper.
The center bore on them is 55mm vs. the Tercel's 54. The studs pattern is good enough to center the wheels. I found the best way to get the wheels centered is to snug down one lug, give the tire some percussive persuasion (rubber mallet works best), snug down a 2nd lug, repeat persuasion, snug the first (do opposite corners), then repeat a couple more times until both lugs are good and snug. Torque all of the lugs to 76 ft-lbs after that.
I didn't go as aggressive on tires, 195/70/14 all seasons. Makes the car look right, the stock 13's are way too small.

Re: supra/celica wheels
I picked up a set of BMW bottlecaps that I'm hoping to fit on the turcel at some point... These rims are super cheap, pretty light, and (i think) will look period correct (80's)

Re: supra/celica wheels
I've been running my phone dials for about a year now, I absolutely love them! I just bolted mine straight up with no issues, they fit the oddness of the car forreal haha.

Re: supra/celica wheels
Im planning on test fitting them when I swap the GTS axle in. I know Id need adapters on the front. We'll see how it goes.
Re: supra/celica wheels
Keep us updated. Are you planning to paint those wheels?
