On a whim I traded my 15 Corolla for an 86. I had a set of take off 10 or 11 OE aluminum 16 Corolla wheels that I used on a 13 & the 15 Corolla with good success.

I pulled the snow set & put the OE Corolla wheels back on before trading. Now I have a set of snow tires/wheels for the 86......maybe. What is the spacing going to be like since I am going from RWD to RWD?

I have General Articmax on them, skinnier and taller than stock. They are squirmy in the dray, but stick well in snow or wet. Amazing actually, and they are cheap.

Anyone have any insight?

what is the info on the wheels? Offset, size, etc..

No idea, like I said they are just the aluminum 16" OE wheels from a 10-11 Corolla. I assumed some Toyota person would know exactly what they are. Hasn't the Corolla used the same set up for a very long time? Thanks.

What did you mean by the spacing going from RWD to RWD? Do you happen to know the tire specs at least?

Edit

From what I'm seeing the wheels you have are 16 x 6.5. Of course they will look a little sunken in but that's a snow setup for ya.

I googled 2011 Corolla wheels and got this:

205/55R16 89H 6.5Jx16 ET39 5x100

Cross referenced with our stock wheel and tires on: www.willtheyfit.com

and got this:

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 15.4mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 2.7mm more than before.

I took it to my local Discount Tire. After speaking with them on the phone they said they would fit, but once there they said they would not. Something about the center hole not being correct. Of course they have completely different lug nuts as well. Maybe I should not have given up so easily and actually walked out into the bay to see what was wrong. Maybe it just needed some of those rings you guys are always talking about on here.

It was a pain in the ass, 100 miles round trip to them. I went in the truck to take the wheels, drove the car back the next day, then drove the truck back the following day. Bad enough when you accomplish something, shitty when you accomplish nothing.
