later alloys ok for earlier models?

[groovemerchant]

Hi there,

I have an AE112R Ascent with stocky 5.5Jx14 rims.

Looking at some later model factory 16" alloys to replace them.

is PCD and offset generally consistent on factory wheels in the newer models?

I know the latest ones are 5 stud, these are definitely 4stud and look like 100 PCD.

Appreciate any comments

The wheels from a ZZE122/123 (since you said 16", I'm guessing you're referring to the Sportivo mags) will fit on a 112, no problems. Offset and PCD are basically the same all the way from AE82 to ZZE122. Anything under 7" and you shouldn't have to worry about scrubbing either.

+38 and +45 is not big difference, i dont think it would need a spacer unless the break calipers are BIG !!

The problem wouldn't be the calipers, rather the struts themselves. Later model Corollas have got a bit more room but AE82s do tend to have strut-rubbing issues if you don't get the offset spot-on.

yeah i emailed a guy who is selling a AE82 with sportivo rims to see if he needed spacers....and he did so i have added the stivo rims as an extra bonus to my sale of sportivo....so every single stock part comes with car now when bought...

you need to keep in mind the actual rim width when referencing offset. The sportivo 16's are not the same width as AE82 stock rims, so you can't directly compare offsets.

[jaderd]

ofcourse.....lol....that honestly did not even cross my mind.../ keeping it orig ne way, just got 4 new Dunlop LM702 put on the stock rims

I had the Sportivo wheels on one of my old SX Seca's and never had any troubles with running at all...
