Can we fit oem 17 inch whell of vibe 2009 on a 2003 vibe

Post by drago »

Hi everyone,
does someone try or know if we can put 17 inch oem 5 spokes of a 2009 pontiac vibe on a 2003-2006 vibe fwd. Does the bolt patern is the same.
I saw a great deal in my area and i'll buy it if it fits.

Thanks in advance

If the 17 inch rim was off a 1.8L 2009 Vibe, then yes. If the rim was from a vibe with the 2.4, then no.

The bolt pattern for the 09-10 2.4L Vibes is 5-114 whereas the pattern for 03-10 1.8L Vibes is 5-100.

I believe - and someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong -- the larger wheels have a different bolt pattern. I think only the base wheels (steel) on the '09-10 had the same bolt pattern as the 2003-2008. I'm sure someone can confirm this...

Hummm interesting.
Thanks for the quick answer,
i will have ta ask to the guy what model of vibe he had (he told me that his car has been stolen so it's why he put the wheels for sale...)

So you are 100% sure of that. Because if you are i'll will pass my turn for that deal i think so.

Thank you star deceiver

Yes, they are correct. The 2009-2010 OEM Pontiac alloy wheels will not fit the earlier Vibes. I wish they did as I bet the wheels would look nice on the earlier models.

The only OEM wheels that came on 2009-2010 1.8Ls were 16" steel wheels with wheel covers. 2.4Ls came with all the other wheels (16 steel wheels [with different wheel covers], 17s and 18s).

And yes, just as everyone else has said...

All 2003-2008 Vibes & 2009-2010 1.8L Vibes = 5x100 bolt pattern

2009-2010 2.4L Vibes = 5x114.3 bolt pattern

This man knows his Vibes. Kudos to you, that is 100% accurate and correct. I also wished the 09-10 Vibe 17's or 18's would fit on the base 1.8Ls. :( Those wheels are beautiful.

Snag some 17" alloy Scion tC wheels for your 2003-2008 Vibe. They're affordable and look great! ;)

I find it interesting that the newest tCs now share their bolt pattern (5x114.3) with the 2009-2010 2.4L Vibes :P. I see a white one on my way home from work almost everyday and it has OEM gunmetal wheels on it that are pretty sharp looking.
