hi everyone, ive got a bone stock barn find ms55 1968 with 14000 m iles on the clock. 100% original to the user manual and tool kit.

Ive put it over the pit and am in the process of sorting the suspension.

Id like to put on some nice period mags and will probably buy online.

I need to know of the PCD and ofsets for the original so i can match some new wheels, probably 15" x 7 wide.

Let me know if youve done something similar, what youve fitted, how good it looks etrc.

many thanks'

If you change the rim diameter & tyre size most likely you will an error in the speedo. Your speedo will have to have a external cable gear box converter on the gear box to correct your speed readings.  I did a conversion on my 1971 MS55 about 40 years ago & had a box made up to give true speed & distance readings.  

Leave it looking original I have seen a lot of crowns that have had mags & the like fitted spoils the image also If you go anywhere & park it wheels seem to disappear. Mine looks the same as the day it came out of the factory if you want to freshen the looks a nice set of 71 or 72 hubcaps.

Wheel PCD should be 5x114.3, stock wheels were most likely in the range of 14x5" or +27 (that's what the next model MS65 had from my brief search).  Tyre size will be harder since most catalogues don't go back that far, and from factory they would have been running cross-ply tyres or radials with 82% aspect ratio (early radials were pretty much all the same sidewall aspect ratio so the tyre code didn't list it, just something like 185R14 in a similar vein to commerical truck tyres)

Is your crown a full japan build or was it AMI ( Australian Motor Industries ) If AMI then the rims would have been made in Aus by ROH  size as stated by Hiro.  when I changed from crossply to radials the tyre size was 175R14. However I later went for 185 R14 75.  I have had several crowns over the years MS55,s & a few MS65,s but now I only have my original 71 MS55 left got too expensive for rego & insurance for the rest.

      Brake issues

      BTW forgot to mention that there is no shake in the steering wheel. The 'shudder', really hard to describe but almost like brakes on and off. Cannot identify front or rear or both. Got me totally miffed.

      Brake issues

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      200 series won’t shift past 4th gear

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes.

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky
