Toyota Corolla E140 (North America) wheel fitment

The North American E140 Corolla is a high-volume saloon, and most wheel changes are a step up from the 15 or 16-inch factory wheels to 17s. It uses 5x100, the same pattern as many other compact Toyotas of the period, with a small 54.1 mm hub.

5x100 bolt pattern · 54.1 mm centre bore · Stock wheels: 15 × 6, 16 × 6.5, 17 × 7 inch · Stock tyres: 195/65 R15, 205/55 R16, 215/45 R17

Width and offset guidance

Offset range

Check the exact setup

There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.

Common width limit

Measure before ordering

A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.

These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.

Clearance notes

  • The same ToyotaNation owner advises against ET20 on a 17x8 because it would stick out too far.
  • Factory offsets are ET33 on the 15-inch wheel and ET39 on the 16 and 17-inch wheels. The owner 17x8 ET35 sits about 17 mm further out and 9 mm further in than the XRS 17x7 ET39.
  • The hub bore is 54.1 mm and the wheel nuts are M12x1.5. Most aftermarket wheels have a larger bore and need hub-centric rings.
  • We have not confirmed a factory wheel-nut torque for this generation. Use the figure in the owner's handbook.
  • Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.
