1978 Toyota Corolla Liftback

Post by Randalla »

Crossed over to the dark side this week and bought a really nice 1978 Corolla Liftback. I bought this car from the original owner's husband who is 82. The wife bought the car new and died recently at 92. I have full service records for the car since 2001. I'm looking for a set of 4 x 100 - 14" or 15" wheels to upgrade from the stock 13" factory wheels. I'll post pictures of the car tomorrow.

Aaron, I was under the impression that the Toyota bolt pattern was 4 x 100 not 114.3. Am I wrong? Thanks for the kind comments Dale. You'll have to see it in person.

Theyre 4x114 brother, some pre 73 corollas are 4x110. But for the most part most old school toyotas are 4x114.
Are you going to the meet on the 9th? I can give you some tips on brake and suspension upgrades

Yes, planning on coming. Not sure what I'll bring yet. I have at least three sets of wheels that will fit the Corolla if 114.3. Cool!
