I have been in talks with a wheel shop to potentially order the wheels for my GRCE as soon as I get confirmation that I am getting an allocation. However, the wheel shop is advising me that they have a good indication that the bolt pattern for the wheels will be 5x100 (like the outgoing Corolla Hatch), while I have a pretty good indication that it will be 5x114.3 like the GRY.
Are there any official statements, pictures, or data that indicate the bolt pattern?
I remember seeing a picture that the wheel will be 18x8.5, but I haven't found one with the bolt pattern.
Please help out.

Would find it unlikely they go with 5 x 100 like my old 2004 Subaru, its a total pain in the ass to get aftermarket wheels for now as its all gone 5 x 114.

Don't really care as I will not be swapping the stock wheels as I love the ones on the CE with all the GR logo cast into the rims. I do hope some clowns over here don't like them however as it pays to pickup a spare set if you plan to keep the car a long time. Reminds me of the Subaru WRX Sti a few years back, everyone hated the rims on those and they were going real cheap.

In fact there are still several sets for sale.



Would have taken a set of those for mine but the stud pattern was wrong and I'm NOT fitting adapters,

This is where I am… fingers crossed my dealer gets allocated one (I’m #1 at my dealer) then I’ll be looking for a second set of stock wheels for snow tires

Anyone have an idea on aftermarket wheel fitments for the GR Corolla? A few of Larry Chen's Instagram photos revealed that the Morizo and Circuit editions have OEM wheel sizes of 18x8.5 +30. I would assume the Core would also have the same if not a similar size.

If true, does that mean the typical 18x9.5 +38 or 40 sizes that work well on Subaru's and Honda's won't work for this platform? For reference, the GR Yaris has an OEM wheel size of 18x8+45 which makes the 18x9.5+38-45 sizes work perfectly.

I'm planning on looking for some wheels to use for my summer tires and I'll use the OEM wheels for winter tires. I figure that I'll look at how the OEM wheels fit and see how much more offset I want. I'll most likely stay with the OEM 235/40R18 tires and 18x8.5 wheels. If the +30 offset looks good I'll stick with it. My key is finding a wheel I like that is very light.

I have fit 18x9.5 et38 wheels with 255/35/18 tires on my regular Corolla Hatchback and drove it with these and lowered for close to 2 years.

The biggest issue any Corolla and GR Corolla owner will encounter with wheels around this size with coilovers is the space between the back of the wheel and coilover. If the coilover does not have camber plate top hats, you would be unable to give negative camber at the front hub with camber bolts. I could barely fit my pinky, and my coilovers did not have camber top plates. The rears clear, however It is a bit tight to one of the rear trailing arms.

There are also some owners who put 18x9.5 et45 wheels and they did not clear their coilovers, and possibly the same rear trailing arm would not clear either.

If any future GR owner is wanting to get 9.5 wheels and coilovers, my recommendation Is an offset between 30 and 22 in order to give enough room to dial in negative camber at the front, whether it be for performance or clearance. From what I can find, a 10 inch wide wheel would need a comparatively low offset, at the minimum et25.

Somewhat off topic but I'd love to see a comparison between the stock circuit brakes and the the downsize kit (using the same wheels, on a tarmac track). Hopefully you won't lose too much braking performance? Probably not but I want to believe 😤😤😤

I love the looks of a good BBK but I also want to be able to run 15" rally wheels for rallycross and stuff. If 17" wheels fit over the stock (circuit) brakes then I could see that as a good comprimise (and also keep me within the stock class of my local rallycross circuit).

I'm seeing 18x8.5, ET30, 114.3x5 as stock wheel spec in the TIS. Assuming that the centerbore is at least 60.1 (normal Toyota size), these should fit...

I'd love those as winter wheels.

As someone who owned Rotiform CCV wheels, if you plan on keeping them clean, do not go with a wheel in that design style. Too many crevices to worry about. If you don't care tho, then they will look fire.

And yes, my wheels were ceramic coated. It did make it a lot easier to clean, but still time consuming.

Can't remember where I read it but am I correct that the stock rims are only around 18lbs each? That's exceptionally light.... much lighter than any of the aftermarket ones I like. I dig the Fifteen52 integrales and the OZ gravel rally style but they're apparently much heavier than stock.

Size wise I understand that the OEM wheels are 8x8.5 +30 which gives about 150mm of backspace. You could damn near match that with a 9" wide +25 offset and get about 8mm more poke.

Stock Core and CE are 22lbs, IIRC. The ME is 18lbs.
