What is needed to make this happen. He just got the rims, he hasn't tried to put them on
but I don't think they'll just slip on. Please help, No is not an Option

umm no?

they're different bolt patterns, too much hassle, just buy wheels

 

different bolt pattern! NO is the only option! lol

 

If it has to be 6x2 parallel spokes like the tC wheels, there are very similar options that will fit our 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Check out the Enkei RPF1 and Kosei K1 TS wheels on www.tirerack.com

 

wheel adapters?

 

the real question is WHY would you want tC rims on an xB?

 

Seriously..

If you want to go for a stock look, there are a handful of Lexus wheels that fit our cars ( IS350, IS300, etc)

uhhh because they're extremely cheap, extremely plentiful, 17's that look great? too bad they dont fit.

 

Bc he got a set for free and it hasnt been done yet.

Honestly guys!!! I/ve seen crazy custom stuff on here from custom turbos to suicide doors. and your telling me this is IT!!! The hardest most impossible thing to do...

 

bump

 

ITS THE WRONG BOLT PATTERN! lol get different wheels man.

 

You could get your hubs and rotors redrilled to the tC's 5x100mm bolt pattern. It'll cost a bit of $$$, but if you absolutely HAVE to HAVE it, that would be the way to go.

Contact a local machine shop for pricing.

 

Why are you this fckin stubborn to use those wheels. by the time you do everything severedvega suggested your spending somewhere around 400, with which you could pick up some cheap wheels instead and won't have a problem (Other than riding on cheap wheels)

 

get the wheels redrilled. ranges anywhere from 100-150 per wheel i think. they fill the holes with aluminum and redrill to the new bolt pattern.

or spend that money and get new wheels.

 

That could be a viable option, but what if they're exposed lug? That wouldn't work out all too well.

Another option would be to use a spacer. Although most spacers that change lug patterns are 1"+ thick, they'll be sticking out like the neighbor's low low...

 

BOTH OF YOU SHOULD NOT BE POSTING THIS KIND OF RECOMMENDATION AT ALL...THIS IS GARBAGE INFO...

1. Redrilling a cast spun wheel like the OEM tC wheel compromises strength.
2. You cannot redrill the tC wheel because it is concave based and not flat based meaning there is not material behind the 11.4 area of drilling to ensure a flat smooth and steady pressured area of contact to the hub of the tire mounting point OR where the lug nut will be TQed down.
3. If will cost him well over 400-600 dollars even if he did want to do this process in which case (a) the wheel will look like crap for the dual pattern and (b) he could have easily sold the wheels for money and gotten knock off wheels that look like the stock tC wheel and just put the
Scion cap on it and called it a day. A wheel such as below:

Enekei, Spun,alt, and Konig all make wheels similar to this design.

4. The only other way of getting this to work is finding wheel hub adapters but that will cost just as much to buy good named, stable, and strong adapters but that in itself is a cop out and in most cases should
not be done for stress on the OEM bolts will occur once again both you obviously do not know how the redrillin process works and which wheels you can actually apply it to so please do not misinform people.

to the OP

Stop being a stubborn and stupid and just get other wheels. Be smart and flip the free wheels for money and use that money for wheels that correctly fit. How hard is that!

I know for sure that you cant re-drill the tC wheels. I just wanted him to go try and fail so that he can really realize that they wont fit no matter what he does.

And PCD adapters wont work cause the offsets will be really wrong and I think he will be hitting the fender

I don't recall the OP ever stating that they were indeed OEM tC wheels... I've known friends that have got wheels redrilled to a different pattern with no problems.

I never mentioned actually redrilling the wheel, I mentioned redrilling the hubs and rotors. Once again, I've had a few friends do this with no negative results.
It's not the safest thing to do, but if it absolutely HAS to be done, then do so at your own risk.

Being a "custom" modification, it's probably not the safest.

 

LOL hard at this ^^^

You cannot redrill the hubs on the knuckle assembly because that would actually require you to physically take the knuckle assembly off the car and probably
take it apart to to do so which is going to cost a lot of money/time and redrillin rotors?? Why not just be smart and buy the matching 5x100 rotors in the right size.
and dude I don't know how more specific the OP can be by saying CLEARLY.."tC WHEELS"...

And if you read the "blah blah blah" I wrote you would note i said tC wheels cannot and should not be redrilled. Yes SOME wheels like i said that are flat faced can be redrilled... but since the tC wheel is not.
You can't PERIOD... no machine shop or any shop will touch a concave or un flat faced wheel. That is to much metal to fill/weld/ and balance especially on modern wheels which rarely have flat faces anymore.

It's a moronic thing to do and attempt and also the biggest waste of time and money for tC stocks to be thrown on a 2nd Gen xB. Like I said before the most reliable way to do it with out compromising the integrity of the wheels or like you say "hubs" is to
buy wheel adapters that convert 5x114.3 to 5x100 but that usually leaves a 1" gap on average of extra offset on wheel. VW guys are the most common to do this to fit various bolt patterned wheels on their cars but even they know its a tad dangerous.

blah blah blah... go do some homework and then come back.

I totally agree, bro. 100%. I don't think it's the brightest thing to do, nor would I.
As you've stated, Pete, NO is the only option.

And do my homework?
