i believe st162 SX had a 5x100 offset on the top of my head, rim size can be as large as 18", but i wouldn't recommend it as 17" are bad enough for me.

Hell no! You won't get the wheel studs through the holes. Check your offset too (search these forums, or the stamping on your rims).
You'll have to check your inside clearance to the struts for backspacing (how low you can go on offset) and your clearance to the guards (how high) . . . . but I expect that's all been covered in detail many times over !

It may..but i don't think you will have much thread for the bolts to go on, therefore leaving it very dangerous and the wheels more the likely to come off while driving

WAY too many. I can just about type that reply now with my eyes closed
But since there was some pretty bad misinformation earlier in the thread I figured I had better clear it up before someone tried to fit 5x114.3 rims to a Celica. And sometimes trying to dig up and old thread and post a link can take more time than typing a response.....either that or my search skills need some work.
