I know in Mini Truckin/Truckin I see the adapters on there to convert from 4-5 lug so you may want to pick up a copy and check it out.

If you can't find it PM me and I will dig out an old copy at the office and get you the www for it.

Is there a way to do it using certain Toyota parts, like hubs, etc?

The bad thing about those are that they are adaptors, they bolt on to the stock hubs then you bolt the wheels to them.

You'd be better off doing a hub & spindle swap from a FWD 5lug car, ie Accord or Camry.

The guys from HighOnScion.com did one, talk to them.

So, heh, could the hubs and all that say from a Celica GTS be used and then you could even maybe carry over some calipers and rotors as well. [/reach]

Why would you want to? Whats wrong with just having a 4 lug pattern...5 lug wont do anything for you

Some wheels are only available in 5 lug bolt patterns..which is probably why he wants to do it--but you are correct, aside from that the only other value is aesthetic.

There are theoretical strength issues, but an xb is unlikely to need anything more than 4 lugs. Maybe if you take it rock crawling or slam into curbs. You'd bend something else anyway.

2003-2004 Corolla S model should bolt up clean without and mods. It is 5 on 100mm. It can't be the standard Corolla as it is the same as the XB.
