Toyota Celica wheel fitment — T23
Toyota Celica wheel fitment
Toyota Celica wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the Toyota Celica T23 (1970–2022).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5X100 |
| Centre bore | 54.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Seat type | flat |
| Factory setup | square |
| Brakes | e11*98/14*0122*..,e11*2001/116*0122*. |
| TPMS | none |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–8.5J | ET28–ET40 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
Overview
The Toyota Celica is a sports car produced by Toyota from 1970 until 2006. It was exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store dealerships in Japan and was based on the Corona platform, emphasizing styling and driving enjoyment. The first generation (A20, A30; 1970) featured two-door hardtop coupé and liftback body styles with front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. It was powered by various four-cylinder engines including the T series, 2T/2T-B, 2T-G, 8R, 18R, 18R-G, and 20R. The Celica's concept was to attach a coupe body to the chassis and mechanicals from a high-volume sedan like the Toyota Carina.
