They will fit. Nice thing about 240s, all the wheels fit all the cars (AFAIK).

When junkyard cruising remember to check these two labels: Rear edge of the Driver's door will tell you the mfg month and year. Rear edge of the RF door will tell you the stock tire size.

There is also a service label in the trunk or rear storage area (245) but it has codes. P/S rack CAM or ZF? Brakes ATE or Girling?

BTW: Girling calipers have a logo. It's a "G" where the cross piece is an arm, with the hand gripping the round part of the "G".

Are the aluminum wheels that are you unhappy with the 25-spoke Coronas? All my daily drivers have those GL type wheels, I personally like them - but I am likely a member of a generation other than yours and there's no acocunting for taste, right?

Look here for a complete list:
