I need to get a new set of rims for my 2006 Scion tC that i bought used. The rims that on the car when i bought it were 5x114.3
but i've been reading that the bolt pattern for tC's is 5x100 which pattern do i need to buy for my set of rims??

any help is appreciated

 

the old rims were 17x7 42 offset

 

either one, if they came with 5x114 then they probably have adapters (or double check and make sure they really are) then get those or take them off and get 5x100. More selection in 5x114 though, depending on what you're looking to get

 

your car only fits 5x100 wheels

 

or...

 

Could be 5x114 but I have to doubt it.... although nissans are more known for hub swaps :-p

 

no he could be just mistaken or the wheel he owns has both 5x114 and 5x100 or like previously said adapters was used.

BUT STILL A 1ST GEN TC ONLY USED 5X100 BOLT PATTERN

and a hub swap on a 1st gen tC is a waste of money,

 

^And hasn't been done. At least on here.

 

i've always thought about swapping an xb2 hub onto a 1st gen tc.. everything seems pretty similar.. OH WELL

 

i got some rims for sale motegi sp10s

5x100

with tires 17x7

 

This. There's been discussions and attempts, but nothing ever completed.

 

thanks for the help, it's 5x100. the rims said they were 5x114.3 but actually fit both patterns.

now gotta look for some 17x7s

 

i have these for sale

 

i've thought about swamping xb2 hubs but $173 to $300 BNIB for each hub is ridiculous compared to buying the most expensive adapters for 400 or less for all four. Sure you could have a discount or junk yard parts, Still imo waste of money.

 

So because its a waste of money it's never been done on here before? could be done for next to nothing with the right tools.

 

no that's just my opinion, it just hasn't been done

 

After six weeks of hard work, the tC was put back together in time for the last Time Attack event of the season. The event was at GT Live (Virginia International Raceway). With all the new upgrades we made to the tC, including a fully-built motor, custom 5x114 front hubs, and 285 front tires, our driver

Nope.... never.

 

^CUSTOM 5x114.3 FRONT hubs. What about the rear?

 

Front got did... And that involves an axle..... Rear shouldn't involve rocket science. I don't see how you can throw out a blanket statement like it has never been done before however. They are custom yes but Hondas are a perfect example of if it can be done it will be done. I myself would send the wheel out to be convereted before I swapped the hub... But iirc it was said it was never done.... It has been done/ end of story

 

Well I do recall Ptuning doing that conversion, that has been posted before, yes(did I forget, well yea). I was thinking more along the lines of the do-it-yourselfers. Of course a tuning company has the resources and machines to make that conversion.
