Some Nice Alloy Wheels for the Starlet?

What kind of wheels will fit. I have done some research, but not tried it my self.

Starlet EP91 is 4x100 ET38
(4x100 PCD )
Mentioned in Owners Manual: 145/80R13 and 165/70R13
145SR13 4x13 ET39
155/80 R13 5x13 ET39
155SR13 5x13 ET39
165/70 R13 5x13 ET39
185/55 R14 5.5x14 ET39

Diameters: 13'' - 14''
Width (mm): 155 - 185
Tire aspect ratio (%): 55 - 80
Smallest tire size: 155/80 R13
Largest tire size: 185/55 R14

Bolt pattern 4x100
Diameter: 13'' - 14'';
Width (inches): 5 - 5.5;
Offset (mm): 39.


All these keep the turning diameter within +/- 2% of std

205/50 14
195/55 14
185/50 15
195/45 15
205/45 15
195/40 16

Std Hubs
4 x 100mm pcd
Centre Bore 54.1mm
Offset 35-39mm
Thread 12x1.5mm



 I know its no more than 38mm and no less than 35mm. All yaris wheels will go straight on, as will wheels from corollas etc. Most after market rims shud fit with 4x100 PCD and 35/38 mm offset.

According to a source on the Internet: The recommended offset for Starlet is 35-42

That is if you dont want to hit the wheel archers. It also of course depends on wheel size and tires. But I think you will be safe going 15" at least. Dont know about 16".

+35 on a 6.5in wide would sit nice with plenty of clearance.

+38 with a 7in wide.

Anymore and it sits to far in and looks funny

If you can get the 17x7 +38 in 4x100 then happy days ! However the rear might scrub when you get fatties in the back.
Hey just for informations sake, i have 225/35 18s on my ep91. i get no scrub in the back, and alittle scrub on full lock in the front.


Stock is 165/70R13 (13x5.5) I believe (correct me if I'm wrong).
Anything wider than 7" will stick out from the factory guards.


Nice rims

The correct size for Starlet is 38-40, so 35 will be sticking out a tiny bit.

Rota fighter 16" x 7tum. 4x100 et 40.
20mm spacers. The wheels are ns2 165/65/16  ( stretch! )
I guess ET40 will work? I could go without the spacers, but it might perhaps work to use the spacers with this narrow tires?
Spacers are 4x100 with 57,1mm hub adapted for the Rota rims. I guess 57,1 mm will work on a EP91?
