huh?

bolt pattern is 5x114.3

I'd get 17's.... 18's and your probly rubbing depending on your offset of the wheel. You already have a slight drop so go with 17's, nicer ride, less chance of bending or warping the rim.

But to all your own

BoYgUaN · 09-30-2002, 11:54 PM

you can only get the 5x 114

you mean offset right?

If offsett.. anything over 45 is desirable.
As for bolt pattern.. same as what the guys above said.

Hmmm I dunno anything about the offset stuff, but someone should type up a guide and have it FAQed... this gets ask a lot.

I didn't even ask before I got my wheels? Everything turned out fine-- I guess?

I think that will be rubbing bigtime, with 35 offset.

Ah well I'm just gettin 17's anyway.

have fun

that's all.........there is no way u aren;t going to rub

215/35/18 where 35 is NOT THE OFFSET.

215 = diameter of tires in millimeters = 21.5 centimeters
35 = height of the sidewall, in a percentage of the tire diameter.
18 = rim size.

My set up is this. 215/35/18 +48 where +48 is the offset..

You can run a +35 offset, it'd just take really skinny wheels.

Bottom line, stock bolt pattern is 5x114.3, stock offset is +55mm, stock wheel size is 16x6.5", stock tire size is 205/50-16.

From there, all it takes is a little math, measurement, and effort to figure out what has the best chance of not rubbing. But even the best estimations go out the window depending on the brand/type of tire. Some 205's are significantly wider than other 205's . . . . . **ahem***falken**cough***azenis***ahem***

And negative camber (or lack thereof) is a whole other variable that needs to be taken under consideration.

Haha, this whole thread is funny...

Are you planning to change your bolt pattern???

Like people said, 5th gen ludes are 5 X 114.3

If you plan to get a 17" rim, you should get 45+ offset...

This is correct. Wow, this posted is full of confused people & bad info. Geeezzzzzzz

Description of Wheel Offset
Tire Size Info

Required offset is dependent on the wheel WIDTH (ei. 6.5", 7", 7.5", 8"), and tire width (ei. 205, 215, 225), but keep in mind that each tire brands width is not the same. Also the amount that you car is lowered can effect this.

Most places refer to wheels are 17x7 or 18x8, the second number is the width, btw the first number is the wheel diameter.
