Hi all,
I'm sure this has been covered somewhere, but after a bit of digging on here and elsewhere online, I can't seem to find some wheel specs I'm after.
Long story short. I have an 09 Vibe 2.4L with the steel wheels. I'd like to go on the hunt for some used inexpensive replacements.
Here's what I already know. Bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3. These are 16s but I could put 17s or 18s provided I had matching rubber.
What I'm unsure of:
Offset: Best I can tell, the offset is +45mm
Width: Again, best I can tell it is 7
A few questions: (and I apologize for the lack of knowledge, but if I don't know something I just ask)
One - Is that the correct offset and width on the rims?
Two - What are the parameters I can work with in regard to both offset and width. Obviously I need a 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern. I suspect that since the offset is +45 I have a range I can work with there. Off the top of my head I would guess anything 5mm + or - wouldn't make that big of a difference, though I don't know that for sure.
Three - How does rim width effect tire mounting/look/handling?
That's a lot I know. So, thank you for your time, energy and efforts. I appreciate it!
