Default Want to fit an Xa 18" TRD rims on a 4 bolt Corolla!

HI...as you can see i am new here and would like to say hi to all scion fan users....i am actually going to be a Corolla owner hopefully (buying a 2004 new corolla :D ), but wanted to ask this question....does the corolla S and Xa have the same offset...just curious cause i like the TRD 18" rims for the Xa more.....by the way i am overseas and our corolla here have a 4 lug 4 by 100 bolt design and thats what the Xa has here the same.....heres a link a photo from TRD japan

as you can see its the same rim available in US, but as a 4 bolt deisng in US and in Japan it's in a 5 bolt design ....i am asking cause i want to know if i can order from TRD USA or not.....and oh by the way the 4 bolt type lugs here require a rim with 45mm offset to fit a 16×7.0 rim to stock fitments as shown here http://www.trdparts.jp/parts_wheel-sport.html ........so whats the offset of the Xa TRD 18" rims and any other info such as stock Xa rim offset for the stocky 15" rims will be nice too.....sorry if the post was long and will appreciate such useful info!

just make sure u order 4x100...for offset, it depends on the stance u want on your car...

scion take very low offset (+25) to make it look flush

well my brain says they look the same, but who cares if they are the same or not, cause both look nice :D
i know as the rim goes bigger in diammeter it goes bigger in width too, but does it go less in offset as the rim diammeter goes bigger???.....cause our corolla requires a offset of 45mm for a 16"x7.0 width .....what cold be the conclusion here if i would go for a 18" TRD rim as the Xa ?

Big difference in quality. They look similar, but the TRD rim in the first pic is forged and made by Rays (Volk). The "TRD" wheel available here is actually a rebadged RH Evolution GT5.

So then what's the size and offset of the TRD's, and if they are rebaddged RH Evolution GT5's, are we able to get them in the same size?

Wow thanks for that info EL PAALO i was leaning towards the the US TRD cause they were cheaper and came as a rim+tire package, but then thats why the JDM TRD is more expensive cause they are made in higher quality....thanks for the info, but could you please let us know the offset of that US TRD rim (hehe.....i do mean the rebadged RH Evolution GT5 ) just for poeple reference!

Default 4-lug Corolla

If you have an overseas 4-lug Toyota Corolla, the wheel fitment will be the same as the xA as far as PCD (bolt pattern) and centerbore. On the Corolla, I would probably not go lower than a 35 offset. I'm looking in my German app guide for Azev wheels and they don't even reccomend going over 17" diameter on the 4 lug car. You might need to roll fenders for 18".
