saab rims

[mark]

I heard that early saab (1893-1987) rims have 4x114.3

And i saw that thes rims are much for sale on the net...

Is it true??? or is the offset wrong??

Offset is probably wrong, but you never know. If the rim isn't that wide you can get away with a higher ET.

Ehm...Kristian has a set of minilite style saab rims that fit (so indeed they have 4x114,3 pcd). There are plenty of old jap cars with 4x114,3 wheels though, as well as english cars as well.
I have 2 pairs of wheels that came off nissan 280zx's, bolt pattern and offsets are good, only thread of the wheelstuds was different.

When you know what to look for it's really not that hard to find rims for your ol' corolla.
Anyway, older mitsubishi and nissan cars used 114,3 I think. If your corolla cant fit very wide wheels you might think about giving suzuki swift wheels a try. Those are 114,3 even for 90's cars if I'm not mistaken.

aha, oke..

I like celica supra and 70's celica/corolla rims more, but the choice is enough..
And if i get the CS rims and the fender flares, I need spacers any way, for the looks.

I actually really dont like them on a non-80's car. They belong on something boxy. Dont get me wrong though, I like the rims themselves, just not the look on KE20/30 cars.
If your getting fender flares it would almost be a crime not to fit some very LOW offset wide rims that come out far enough by themselves..Will also spare you the trouble of spacers and longer wheelstuds.

You could also go for technotoytuning's (t3) spacers that change offset to 4x100 so you can put almost any rim on, but I would personally go for treu 114,3 rims.

IMO they are not that bad underneath a 70s car.
