We need a Vibe wheel size/ offset and tire application sticky...

[vibolista]

I know I've probably come up with this suggestion before on Genvibe... since one of the first things that new members usually ask (I know I did!): 1.) "Will X size tire and wheel fit my Vibe?" 2.) "What offsets are the 16 inch steelies, the 16 inch factory alloys or the 17 inchers ?" 3.) "What aftemarket alloy wheel offset range will fit the Vibe?"About the time that I was trying to figure out what would fit my '08 Vibe... I found this little diagram that explained the mysteries, but unfortunately it's in Matrix, instead of Vibe. Fortunately, the steelies have the same offset for both Matrix and Vibe, the 16 inch factory alloys are the same, and even the factory 17 inch alloys are the same. Only the spoke design is different.Maybe someone could substitute the Vibe wheels and caps to reduce confusion? Anyone with the tallent and time? And yes, the Matrix offered 2 styles of hubcaps on their steelies... while us Vibers got the one single choice. We could knock out one of the steel wheel choices to tailor this more to our Vibe. The same type of diagram could be done for the 2009 and 2010 models, since the the 2.4l Vibes have a different wheel bolt pattern. I haven't really searched for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if something similar is available for the newer Vibe/Matrix. If not, maybe we could make one????

So now we need to find someone that can translate the Matrix into Vibe and add the wheel data for the 2009-2010 Vibe models. I know someone here on Genvibe is talented enough to make a good sticky about this subject. Anyone?

Anyone have an idea where to get the above information (specifically wheel offsets) for the OEM choices on the 2009-10 Vibes?I'm getting the bug to get wheels to go with the lowering springs and am not sure what offset to look for.
