Can anyone tell me what 15" wheels might fit my alltrac? I'll be looking in the salvage yard, so should I be looking for only Corolla wagons or possibly other models also? If I can find some nice wheels at the right price I'll get them for summer use.

If you are in the US, a reasonable option might be to check out America's Tire / Discount Tire. I was ableto get a 14" set with tires and waranty, etc. for a little over a hundred dollars per wheel. Just a thought...

Maybe look up 4x100 rims online and see what comes up... I believe that's the lug pattern for these Corollas (as well as most Hondas).  Might even be some Acuras with 15" steelies if that's what you're looking for, but I don't really know.

I am not in the US? You guys get cheaper tires and rims, and most parts for that matter, plus lots of you don't have to worry about buying winter tires!

Yeah our bolt pattern is 4x100 for sure, and I agree with Rogue, that is your best bet. Combined with the tire size calculator posted earlier by datsa, you can play around with the values in there and figure out what you need. I just kept changing the tire height/width ratio until I found that 195/50/15 has the same rolling radius as 175/70/R13. =)

Thanks datsa, and good luck hatchy!

Update: I found a WICKED set of Kumho Ecsta AST 195/50/15's on kijiji for $200, they have less than 1000km on them I can still see the little nubbies! =)

Obviously a bit of overkill for the power this car has, but, nice to have some good sticky tires! My car has 2 catalytic converter's on it so I'm going to "lose" both of them, slap a new muffler and SRI on it, and my mods are done besides suspension!

I know that I'm late to this "party" but I suggest trying the tire calculator on http://www.TireRack.com.

Thanks! I do not need to have my car on height adjust to accomidate the 15's. They fit just fine. No mods at all needed. I am in the process of getting my rims sandblasted and powder coated gloss black. I think they are going to look pretty sweet.

I've been SERIOUSLY considering taking my winter rims to do this. How much does powder coating cost? I can get the sand blasting done for almost nothing. =)

I'm gonna try and get some pics of it this weekend on the 13" rims, and then some new ones later next week on the 15" rims too!

I have the fortune of working at an aluminum fence manufacturer... I can get stuff powdercoated for free or very cheap.  I had my del Sol's rims powdercoated in black... can't do the center caps because they have plastic parts that would melt in the oven during the curing process!  But I kind of like the look.



LongShadow, I think those rims will look awesome in gloss black!

Thanks man. I'll post a pic when they are done. The sandblasting and powder is going to cost be $125 it think. I work for a fence company too and we get mess powdered like mad.

Oh man, you might be working for one of our competitors!    If you don't mind my asking, what company is it?  I'm at Alumi-Guard here in FL.  Coming up on being there 3 years.  I think the next thing I will ask to have done is a bracket I'm making for my wagon (can't wait to show off that one here), and two valve covers...

No, I live in Canada. Work for a company called Tri West...

Just make sure the wheel offset works for your vehicle when switching wheel size. Also, there shouldn't be a noticeable change in gearing if you get the correct tire size when changing wheel sizes. I have 15's on my corolla with 205/45 tires. Here's a calculator to make sure your Rolling Radius remains the same. http://www.club80-90syncro.co.uk/Syncro_website/TechnicalPages/TRC%20calculator.htm

Can anyone tell me What IS the rolling radius of the factory wheel?

Can anyone tell me What IS the rolling radius of the factory wheel?

The sticker on my door says 185/70 R13 for 1.8, and 165 S R13 for 1.9. But what is the 1.8 and 1.9 referencing?

Right now I'm trying to figure out the best fit for my carib. It came with 14 inch rims, and 185/65 R14 tires....but using the tire calculator doesn't match those up with the originals. hmmm...
