Are they Lexus wheels by any chance? We went down that road and it didn't work. Could have done it with longer studs and spacers but we opted for proper staggered wheels instead.

I'm sure a celica is 5x100 stud pattern, so wheels wouldn't fit unless you get some adapters

At ET50 I recall being told that it's something like 15mm up front and 20-25mm on the rear. But yes, you will need adaptors to run wheels with a different PCD.
