another rim question - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Ive gone though alot of posts about rims offset and im pretty sure im more confused then when i started. I have a set of rims that fit on my 02 camry that i would love to get some more miles out of on my 06 corolla xrs. I know the bolt patterns are different but I was thinking of using adaptors to make them fit but im worried bout spacing. The rims are 18x8 +40 the adaptors are 1.25" I cant figure out what that would do to my offset number. Would it rub a stock xrs? Also growing up in a subaru family we just stole parts off other subarus to make stuff work so are there any hubs close enough to a corolla to swap out patterns?

Are you lowered at all? The offset would be around 25.

not lowered so would an offset of 25 be ok seems kinda low

anyone know if an offset in the 25 range is going to fit on a stock height xrs with an 8in wide rim?

Seems a bit too extreme. I would not recommend it.

My car has 16 x 7 inch rims with +35 offset and they stick out quite a lot. However, I put them on for their extreme lightweight and to give a wider track for more handling.

Not trying to steal your thread here, but silver04rollas you got a pic of your rolla from the back showing how flush they are? Im rim shopping myself and looking for the rim and fender to be flush. I figured 35mm would be ideal. Thnks for looking.

Yes, ofcourse. The stance looks a bit wider in real life since the picture does not perfectly retain the aspect ratio
