Can I Change to a 5-Lug?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

you can do some research on that bearing/hub combo. find a hub w 5 lug and press out your hub...i know it's a sealed bearing but it was assembled somehow. you could also buy the bearing since you're going through all the trouble and it's just another step to press in/out the old bearing.

press out the old hub, press in the new hub...no biggie. specially for someone who has to 'modify everything to fit anything'...per se'.

i think that the hubs on a corolla will fit just fine. i'm sure toyota is smart enough to use the same bearing/designs especially if it works...and just change the hubs out.

long story short, i used a chevy truck hub/bearing on my jeep cuz it was 30 bux cheaper. the only difference was the lug size. i pressed out the 6-lug hub and pressed in my old 5-lug hub just fine. and instead of replacing my bearings every 6 months they lasted another 18 and i sold it with them still in there.
