GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Ok, so i'm an idiot, i don't know how to really use the search 'feature.' But besides that, could someone really help me out by telling the bolt pattern for the vibe, I just have to double check and make sure what i have is correct, 5X100. And someone with aftermarket rims, is thereany problems with the new rims, do u need anything special because of a different bore or anything?thanks again

5x100 is correct!don't need anything special. I just took off old wheels, put new ones on, and bolted them on. I forget the torque rating though, you might want to search that one up.5+ thousand trouble free miles on my new wheels too!

Offset should be 38mm if I recall. I think I remember some guys on Matrixowners were using 40mm, but I could be mistaken.Manual says lug torque is supposed to be 76ft/lbs.

When I rotated my wheels I followed the GM specs of 76ft/lbs.The 50 times I was at Discount last summer with the problems I had with the wheels I bought from them, I always had to tell them to tq it at 76 because their "chart" didn't have a Vibe listed, so they just used "Pontiac", and it showed 100lbs. The last time I was there and had my original steel wheels re-installed, I actually had a 1/2 way intelligent guy doing the job. He was very careful, and after I told him the tq should be 76, he politely asked to see the specs in my manual because he didn't want to tq them too low. He definately won't stay there long...(meaning he's way overqualified to work there seeing he was smart and careful)
