celica alloys andnuts help

[mart77]

hi i've just bought a set of alloys for my gen 6 celica i think the new ones are from a gen 7 celica.the new ones came with centre caps on them and my bolts off my original alloys are too long.i've tried to get some today but no luck.does anybody know where i can get some shorter ones or is it going to be best to see a toyota parts place?does anybody know what the shorter ones are called or know a part number for them?thanks

How much too long??

If its a case of a few mm, I'd say just get some wheel spacers and space the wheels out a bit. I had Gen7 wheels on my ST185CS, and they sat so far into the arches you could hardly see them!! So a bit of spacing wont hurt IMO.

no it's not that mate.its the nut is too long,so i cant get the centre caps on:-(
where do you get the spacers from?i'd like them to sit slightly further out too.

Ahh sorry, mis-read that.

Spacers - Drfitworks sell them, multi fit 5stud ones for £10 a pair (5mm)

As for shorter nuts, no idea, you're best bet is probably Toyota or a breaker??

Are your wheels like these?
