The Corolla training continues.....

Hey,

Thanks for all the info on Corolla brakes. Bought the new pads at Rockauto, installed easily, work fine.

Now, I need some steelies for winter tires. The only wheels listed on Craigslist got snapped up before I could look at 'em. Salvage yards in the Colorado Front range do not have (Many) Corolla parts, or they want more than new wheels from Discount Tire.

BTW: these wheels are 15x6 100mm 5 bolts with 5" backspace.

Any hot tips for finding Toyota wheels?

I am also looking for a factory shop manual for the car. (2008 4 door S model Auto) Ebay has almost nothing, or the seller wants $600 (!)

Thanks to all

Neons, PT cruisers, and Stratus/Sebring SEDANS only (no 2drs) all share that bolt pattern and have larger hub bore diameters (larger works, smaller doesn't). Should be plenty of broken dodges around!

5x100, I have between 8-12 neon wheels that should work, even a set of R/T alloys. But they are all 14" and in NY...

I think 5 lug subi should work as well.

Subaru 5 lugs as long as they aren't STi wheels. IIRC, Outback Sports may have had 15" steel wheels.

Are you in Bolder.
I found this:

Cavalier also, but they are more backspace than a Neon. Neon works with around a 35-38mm, I think, and Cavaliers are more like 45.

Please don't beat me over inaccurate numbers- I'm basing it off trying to fit 16"Cav Z24 wheels on a Neon, and they rubbed the struts.

I gathered from the initial post that the wheels are the part he is looking for; doesn't sound like that ad includes the rims.

Not sure where you're located but I have a set of steelies+tires from my wife's car you can have. Also, prius wheels fit (14#s each!)

Get the shop manual from Toyota. I used to have an address for Toyota shop manuals. Some googling or just call your local dealer.

The address for getting the manual from Toyota used to be in the back of the owners manual.

Assuming the bore is the same or bigger a Cavalier/Sunfire wheel will work well, I'm reading the Cavalier is 6.5Jx15 ET38 and the Corolla is 6 or 6.5Jx15 ET40, 2mm more offset shouldn't make a difference. You should be able to get 4 straight ones for under $100 total, check car-part.com.
