    Scion TC Wheels

    hey guys

    now i know that the 8G and TC both have different bolt patterns [8G=5x114 & TC=110]. of course due to that, a wheel adapter would have to be used.

    i'm looking for suggestions. on craigslist i found some OEM TC wheels for just 100bucks. obvoius curb rash and one wheel is slightly bent. looks like it can be repaired simply.

    my question is, do you guys think all would be okay with me purchasing adapters and slappin these babies on my 8G? or should i just let them slide and wait for some with the correct bolt pattern?? is anyone currently [or recently] using adapters? is there any pros and cons against using them?

    i understand that some ppl wont like these wheels, but simply understand that i do.

    here's the link to the ad

    I think you would be fine, if there tight why would they fall off? if you can find adapters to suit your correct bore size then you need to figure out if the galant side is hubcentric or not and if any hubcentric rings are needed on the scion side. also the spacers will push your hub out about 1", enough for the spacer to cover up the galant lugs and enough spacer for the wheel to sit on. so basically your wheels will be poking out what ever the thickness of the spacer is.

    if you find them they'll probably cost more then the wheels. I got a pair of 10mm spacers up front (not adapters) and they and they cost like $80 so plan on spending up to $300 for them, personaly I would just get another wheel. good luck

    I always hated those wheels and scions in general... unless if FR-S.

    Save your money. You're going to need to fix that bent rim so that's even more money it'll cost you on top of buy adapters. Just stay patient and keep checking CL.
