Wheel lug comparison

Post by Houston »

I have a set of snow tires and wheels that I use during the winter on my 2003 Base Vibe. Will these fit on the new 2009 Vibe?

Sorry, I'm gonna have to go with no. I recall someone on the board verifying that the lug spacing on the 2009 Vibe is 114.3mm - not 110mm.That means that they won't fit. I'm just waiting for someone to jump in and correct me though.

From what I read on the net, the 03-08 Vibe are all 5x100mm. The base 09 Vibe is 5x100, and AWD and GT are 5x114.

Thanks for all the help, guys. It looks as though these wheels will work on the 2009 Vibe with the small engine, but not the large. This might put a crimp in my plans to get the larger engine. Decisions, decisions...

Winter wheels are cheap, get the bigger motor...
