5 x 100 PCD live rear end - what cars are equipped?

[gianttomato]

Does anyone know which cars are RWD, live rear, 5 x 100 PCD? I can only think of some uber ancient Mazdas. Is anyone aware of anything a little more common and recent? Located in Australia would be handy too.

I will dish out the anti love for those whose pipe up and say " Camry, Celica, MR2....."

Well, I won't, but don't mention them anyway.

All I could think of was early BMW. But I have not been able to confirm the PCD - it may well be 5x120.

have you thought about the WRX? they have 5x100 as well.

Edit: wait you said live rear. dismiss my reply

[gianttomato]

I have, but I'm after a live rear end.

Not terribly fussed - I'll abandon this if nothing pops up in the next week or two. Just thinking about ways to use Camry wheels on my Corona.

VW's and audi's have 5x100 aswell. Dont know what models are rwd or live axle.. its all eurotrash

Uh, arnt a lot of camrys 5x114.3, especially since the Cressida guys use the Sportivo wheels.

GT, check out this page, it shows you some bolt patterns and cars they came on, however there is nothing there that i can see is local and easy for you.

the best thing there that probably is still live rear is the Chev Cavalier, which i would imagine sourcing over here could be almost as hard as laying a square egg.

any particular reasons why you want to use the camry rims? not sure if they're offset would suit though.

if you do manage to find a live rear, i might have some other rims you could use, providing the offset agrees.

Takai: the 1987-1992 Camry has 5x100. all models after have 5x114.3

Thats what i thought, kinda negates the point of changing to 5x100 if the wheel selection is so limited.

[gianttomato]

Yeah, just wanted to use some wheels (which are Camry 5 x 100) I have here as part of a project.

Seems like a major PITA. I'll stay with 4 x 114.3.

[horse]

what wheels do you have there GT?

[mrshin]

If you really MUST use the Camry rims, wouldn't it be simpler to alter the diff you've got rather than trying to change the whole lot?

Also, I'd be imagining the Camry rims might be a little bit lacking in the width department to make them truly useful anyway??

[gianttomato]

They're the old steel wheels, like a 12 slotter but with 10. Sure they're narrow, but they can be widened and offset changed to suit, just so nobody notices.


Need some front hubs too, but seeing as the whole thing is a daft idea.....

[takai]

Yes, yes it is gt, a very daft idea.

[mrshin]

Why not just widen some old Falcon rims?

If you ever thought about 4x114.3, I've got a set of 15" steelies that could be widened etc. here.

[gianttomato]

You know, I'm such a bimbo. I was just wondering, "Where could I get an F series diff with 4 x 114.3 PCD from?" It took me more than a few minutes for me to realise I'm sitting on Australia's largest stockpile of them.
