You can not use mustang ones because they are a different thread size. I am not sure what style you need but here is a diagram of different types.

Stock Toyota is the mag seat. Most after market wheels use the acorn. I would just take a look at the wheel and get a set accordingly. Thread pitch for toyotas are 12x1.5

Those will be just fine, and your recommended tire sizes are as follows: (F) 225/45-17's, (R) 255/40-17's. You will definately need rolled fenders all the way around. I'm running 17x9 (15mm) and 17x9.5 (15mm) w/ 225/45's and 245/45's respectively, and rolled in front only. I'm getting away w/ the rear stock, only because I have the stiffest spring rate coilovers you can get! Harsh ass ride, but no rubbing. Her's a couple of photo's for ya.

great fitment.. precisely what I am going for as well.

Well I need another opinion on how you think these sizes and offsets will work, and the wheels themselves. I know these arent "real wheels" or anything like that, but I like them and I can afford them.
They are XXR 522's in front: 18 X 8.5 (+30) and rear: 18X9.5 with +38
you can see them here: http://media.photobucket.com/image/XXR 522/sonicmotor/zilvia/522-19INCH-CHROMIUM-BLACK.jpg

also would these need centering rings? the center bore is 73.1

I want to upgrade my current 18 inch wheels with 245 tires all round to something bigger.
Was thinking about getting the JADE R wheels in this configuration:



8.5 J X 20" 5X114 ET35 FRONTS with 235/30R20 Falken FK452

10 J X 20" 5X114 ET35 REARS with 275/30R20 with Falken FK452




Anyone have experience with this kind of setup in regards to rubbing in the rear? What if i lower the car about an inch?

they will fit, i'd go for a lower offset though.
lower offset in the rear or front or both? LOL i was hoping to get +35 all the wat around but that seems to be the closest. I might try calling them to see if they can get what I want

MKIV TT wheels with 25mm spacer in the front, 15mm spacer in the rear. 235 up front (will be going 255 soon) and 275s out back. Lowered on Eibach springs with Koni Yellows.

I'm hoping it will settle a bit more, but I will likely go coilover in the future. Car is parked right now, just gave it a quick wash.

Look at the pictures and specs on the first page, do a little measuring, and you'll have everything you need. :icon_wink
It all depends on ride height, camber, and tire choice & size. If you're slammed with decent camber you won't go past +20 offset, however at factory ride height you could fit anything and not rub. 9.5 +30 with a 265 is a safe option.

If you really want max lip with proper wheels just roll the fenders, it takes minutes, you'll fit more wheel/tire, and when done properly can always be undone by a good body man.

ah nicee i'm using tt wheels with spacers as well

i'm running 245/45's up front with a 25mm spacer with a slight roll i still have to lower it a bit more. I was hoping it'd be a little more flush but i dont want to run anything bigger then a 25mm spacer so i'm pretty happy with the results

and 275/40's in the rear i have another pair of 25mm spacers on the way with some fender rolling work on the way as well;)
