GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Whats up Genvibe members I had a few questions before buying wheels over the internet & a few local ppl around my area, I'm looking for 17, or 18inch wheels perfer black with chrome or polish lip, or all chrome, what the bolt pattern for the 05 Vibes, & could any other bolt patterns fit like 5x114 fit?? This my 1st time buying shoes for the vibe & will post pics on my latest MODS Thanks George

I believe it's 5x100 bolt pattern. Anyone?

The '05 Vibe has a 5x100 pattern. 5x114 will NOT fit.

03 to 08 factory bolt pattern is 5x100 and 38mm offset, as I recall. There are lots of wheel threads around here if you SEARCH. Here's the first one I came across -->http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... rerack.com and others wheel/tire vendors have LOTS of custom wheel choices, and if you save your vehicle to a 'garage' there (stores a cookie on your computer), they let you view them on a reasonable representation of your Vibe.

has anybody used these?? I see more nice wheels with 5x114 bolt pattern

If you buy a quality spacer from a reputable company like one made by Ichiba or H&R and not some Cheap O' brand you found on eBay.Some things to look for when you're considering buying a spacer:1. the spacer is hubcentric and has the correct bore size.2. the spacer is a reasonable size and weight.3. the spacer is not a uni-lug / slot type spacersThere's more to learn about spacers before you go out and buy some so keep doing your research and talking to those who have experience with them.

Srry guys was in a rush yesterday, yea I was revering to spacers, Thanks Tim, I just changed my mind & not use anything, other then buying wheels w/same bolt pattern. 5x100Thanks guys!

I wouldn't recommend spacers. I have seen a lot of damage because of them.
