Looking for mag wheels. Seen on many website 16x7 size!!!What that "7" stands for? Does it fits on our Vibe? And bolt pattern, I want to make sure that it's 5x100mm.

16 by 7 inches is OK for me. My kids "think" metric but for my generation it's still "feet-inches" that we recognize... LOL The only metric that I know more is Celcius vs Farenheight now.Anyway, so what about "BOLT PATTERN" is this 5-100? For our Vibe.(5 is 5 bolts and 100 is 100mm distance between holes - I guess)

Yes and No. 100mm is the diameter of the circle that the centerline of the bolts are arranged in. When you have 4 or 6 bolts, that measurement is the distance between opposite bolts. However, with 5 bolts, there is no opposite bolt to measure to.
