Yeah, the bolt patterns are different. I think they're 5X114 and our are 5X100. I wondered that too, I think they'd look sweet though ...

too bad nobody's done the research to figure out if 5x114.3 hubs from a Toyota or Lexus or xB2 would fit the tC. I'd buy the necessary parts and make the switch to run some SC430 wheels or other OEM Lexus/Toyota wheels. I think some of these oem parts sponsors on Scion Life (TRDSparks or Conicelli) could benefit from having their parts guy do some research on the matter.

You would need to re-drill the stock tC rotors to 5x114.3 or buy 5x114.3 rotors.

Adapters push the offset too aggresively, especially depending on the backing of the wheel.

all you need to do is really switch the entire knuckle assemblys and possibly the upper control arm from the same vehicle... theres also brake lines to attend to but those are pretty universal on the connections... you have to also check if the spline count on the axles would fit the new knuckle assembly and even work with the axle hole

if i had a camry or xb2 suspension to look at all day i would try it..

the rear hubs would be hard also and you'd need the LCA and hub assembly and maybe even more...

think of it as your typical 5 lug conversion from the integra or ctr to a eg/dc 4 lug chasis

imho not worth it for 250 wheels.

you can find wheels that look similar to that style.
