Would these fit?!?

[rcasciola]

im thinking bout rims and i was wondering if these would fit:4-5/100 4-5/114.3

[ragingfish]

bolt pattern on the vibe is 5x100.5x114.3 would not fit.

[rcasciola]

it has 5/100... thats the bolt pattern... so whats the 5/114.5 mean?!?

[ragingfish]

oh i get it, i thought you were asking about two separate wheels. my bad! not sure what that 5-114.3 is...

I assume that you found a wheel and it said it was available in this size? They are just saying that you can order these wheels for any of those bolt patterns.Alot of wheels today are called Universal fit, as they have both 100 and 114.3 spaced lugs on the wheel. However, usually a wheel will be either 4 or 5 lug. And universal is really a misnomer, as there are 5-lug cars that don't fit a 5-lug universal size.Anyway...The Vibe is 5x100, so that is all you really need to know.Hope that answers your question

[rcasciola]

so then what is offset... and what if it doesnt say on the site?

[ragingfish]

you're missing the full wheel code.it should look something liek this:15x7 5-100 40can you paste a URL to the wheel you'r eintrested in? we might be able to help more with that...

Offset is the distance that the mounting surface of the wheel is from the exact centerline of the wheel.Positive offset means that the surface is on the "outside" of centerline, and negative means that it is on the "inside" of centerline (ie-deep dish wheels).I think you should be able to go to at least +42mm offset on the Vibe. Beyond that, I'm not sure. Anything less than +35mm offset is going to put added stress on the suspension setup. However, I believe you could go all the way to zero...ala gangsta style Like all those Geo Metros you used to see in the 90s!I recommend staying between 35 and 42.

Pretty sweet looking wheels! The offset on that wheel is +42mm, so it should work fine. Two things to consider:1 - That polished lip will make the wheel look smaller.2 - If you're thinking of the white, it may not look too good with your two-tone Vibe. Of course, that is only my opinion...Otherwise, I think they look great!I just ordered some white ADR Tramas for my Vibe. I'll have them on this Friday and I'll post some pics.

The offset of the IKON rims for my Vibe is 45mm I know there are other Vibe members with the same and have had no problems that I know of but there wasn't any less offset to those rims.

I have 18" Tenzo-R Mean 6's in bronze. Mine are 5x100, I think the offset was +40 or +42. They'll look great on your Vibe. I get compliments on them all the time.

[rcasciola]

can you please post a pic????

[Nervous_Dog]

Sorry, I don't have any pics of my car right now. But I can post a pic of the Sport Compact Car Project Matrix. It's red with bronze 6-spoke wheels on it. It looks so sweet I decided that was the look I wanted for my Lava Vibe GT.
