7s and 8s fit easy, probably lipping required
it's all about correct offsets and not running massively wide tyres.

can fit 16x8 on rear and 16x7 on the front with no mods
provided its a suitable offset.
changing to 5 stud for sake of rims is pointless

Grab some bolt on stud pattern converters/wheel spacers, then hope the offset is suitable.

5x114.3=good
Spacers of any kind, bolt on or otherwise = evil, besides, there's no need for it. Do a search - I've mentioned enough times before how to make your Corolla 5-stud, and what wheels will then fit.
You can get those horrible spacers at a lot of less reputable tyre/wheel shops, even JMS sell them - but those that hold the big stick certainly don't look very kindly upon them. Besides, if the offset of your wheels is right now, they'll be waaaay out with those spacers.
As for altering wheels, apart from swapping parts on 3 piece rims, and sticking spacer plates inside single piece rims, I'd sure like to meet this magic fella who can 'do anything with wheel's(!) (change offset, and studs etc)' - must know something not too many others do!

i think that just means he has a dril, you can do anything to wheels with a drill, with varying levels of hilarity.

the place is rebel wheels in wollongong, they can easily change the #of studs and offset (machining). they are 3 piece wheels, and for the price i can get em, its well worth it. just wondering if they would fit.

I have 17 x 9 inch rims on the rear of my sprinter.
Lipped guards with no other mods.
It is pretty close though, around 10mm clearance on either side of the rubber.
Choose your offset correctly and you should be right.
