    Default Finding out original wheel size

    Greetings,

    I've just become the proud owner of a lovely Toyota Crown and would like to find the original wheel size. The reason for this is because the current aftermarket wheels are damaged. I'm not sure if they are repairable but would like to find the original size wheels. Normally there is a label on the drivers side door with information but I think it's been removed on my car as I can't seem to find it. I have tried to search google but haven't had much success. Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how I can find this.

    The car in question is a 1989 Toyota Crown, chassis code UZS131.

    Google Lexus LS400 from 1989

    15 x 6.5 alloys with 5 x 114.3mm pcd fitted with Dunlop 205/65R/15's is my tip. Not sure what the offset is

    I thought it was the celsior which was the Lexus clone, not the crown?

    Cheers for the heads up but it seems the site is down. I think it's a good time for me to replace the brakes on the car but the problem is that no other brakes seem to fit. Was hoping I could use something from a Soarer or LS400. I would have thought a UZS131 shared parts.
