Guy Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Gaday, I was wondering if it is possible to put the four-spoke Celica/Hiace wheels on a Ke30. I have some and have tried to put them on my car, but they hit on the brake caliper. I had given up, but I was looking on rollaclub and found a few ke's with them on, so I'm wondering if it is possible. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7shades Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 They should go on no problems at all... being 14 x 5.5... I had some on my KE55 many moons ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clapped out Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hey there mate, ive had this problem a few times before, if its got the simitomo (is that how you spell it?) brake callipers on the front, yes it will hit, you need to track down a pair of ke55 or 70 girlock callipers, as the girlock callipers don't have that arseoff of a "fin" hanging off the side of them, cheers, phatke30!

ca18rolla Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 went on my ke35 no worries had girlock style caliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerondownunder88 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hi, They should fit. I also found AE86 mags look similar to these but ARE different eg center caps and so on. I feel these may fit if you get mags off an AE86 with out hitting your brakes as I feel the ae86 ones are slightly bigger when I had mine on my KE55S coupe.

KERAZY Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 or get spacers for them.... less work then getting new calipers can't let the thread die without point out that it's a bad idea for any car to put spaces between your hub and your wheel. not only illegal, but dangerous. I feel better about it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastasios Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 i think you would have to be more stupid to manage to break your wheel studs, has anyone heard of any stories from them actually breaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 i think you would have to be more stupid to manage to break your wheel studs, has anyone heard of any stories from them actually breaking Yes and i actually seen it fall off, I was a front seat passenger in my mates car and we heard a knocking noise comin from the front left so i poked my head out of the window as we were only doin 40k's and the wheel nut fell off so we stopped and i picked it up to find that the stud was still in it.

NoPsi Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 When I had some big, heavy 18inch 150 spoke wire wheels on the 4runner I managed to snap a stud. To run true wire wheels with knock offs you have to bolt on an adaptor. I didn't have the adaptor bolted tight enough and the weight of the wheel managed to move the adaptor around a bit and took out one of my wheel studs. Dodgjuana.
