15" Wheels
El Gringo:
Keep in mind that I'm driving this on the street and don't have to comply with rulebooks. I would sure like to go with taller, narrower wheels for several reasons. Raise the car up a bit and the stock tires are not available if you tear up a tire. Any wheel and tire guys out there?

Dennis,
You can use whatever 13" tire you would like. We did have some engineering students that put 15" wheels on their auto cross project a couple years ago. As I recall, they had to make adapters to fit the new wheels. Check this thread; I believe it is on page 3: http://www.legendsracer.com/index.php?topic=2850.0.

Yep, I don't remember seeing a 4 lug 15" wheel but I was hoping that someone else had. There are front wheel adapters for sale on e-bay but I did not see any for the rear.
RPM:
The bolt pattern is 4x114.3 or 4x4.5".
You should be able find a bunch of wheel options at your local tire shop.
Heck, there are more than 90 wheel listed on Summit Racing by the search of 15", 7 or 8" wide with 4x4.5" bolt pattern.
Plus, they are not going to have the vast selection of a tire shop.

I don't know what stock Toyota wheels the college kids found to convert to the 15" wheels. They did, eventually, make it work.
I don't remember the bolt pattern (off the top of my head); But my 2000 Hyundai, Sonata, had options for both 14" and 15" wheels. Long story; But tried to find a 15" wheel for it while on a 3,500 mile trip. All I could find at the wrecking yards were 14" wheels. Bought 2 14" wheels and tires and put those on the back (front wheel drive car). Interesting, to say the least! But I managed to complete my trip until I got back home.
As Randy mentioned; There are options for new wheels out there. Going to blow up your budget; But I am sure there is something out there that will work for you.
