wat other cars have the same bolt pattern as alero

[heineck]

does anyone know what other cars have the same bolt pattern as the alero alot of wheel sites dont have olds listed in their vehicle selects. Is there any other car that i could order rims for that would fit?

[[ion] C2]

Lots of threads on this, including a recent one by some newb.

When ordering wheels don't go by what they think will fit, go by the facts. Check Aleromod Upgrades..
Exterior-->Wheels/Tires

5x115 or 5x114.3 with a +38 to +42 offset, typically.

[heineck]

alright yea i looked through the old threads but didnt find wat i was askin

[bizarre179]

^^I think to become a member to this site, you have to go to aleromod upgrades. I dont think enough people know about it, and I know you are always referring to it. Personally, I find it VERY useful.

But yeah, best bet it checking pattern to ensure a perfect match.

[[ion] C2]

yup and that Miata.net tire size calculator linked on Aleromod Upgrades comes in handy for tires

i'll put a lot more info on aleromod upgrades soon lol i got a lot to put on

[Redog]

Nissan Altima 2003-2006, Chevy Impala 2000-2005.

I'm sure there are many others, but those are the only 2 I know of

[Alerosaint]

Some caddys...like the CTS

[heineck]

can someone tell me if these specs would fit then?
Size: 18x7.5
PCD: 5x114.3
ET: 35

[heineck]

no one? well wat the hells ET?

[Alerosaint]

i can only vouch for 5x115 the other one ?????

[[ion] C2]

yeah those should fit

5x114.3 is fine. ET must mean offset.

[heineck]

yea i just read its german abbrev for offset they come with a 35 and 45 offset wat do u suggest dude

[[ion] C2]

well alero's are supposed to take 38-42, cliff says it depends on wheel size.. i'm not sure

the 35s might stick out of your wheel wells and the 45s might rub the inner when turning

[paulyb]

ford explorer and ford mustangs..lol

[heineck]

hmm the rims i want only have a 45ET in 18s but theyll fit as 17's

[heineck]

thanks man

[Redog]

I had a nice set of wheels on the ex wife's Cavy that I took in the divorce and planed to swap them onto the Alero

They where dual bolt pattern 5 x 100 and 5 x 114.3, and they fit on the car, but the lug nuts could only go 1/2 a turn, so I bought longer studs which worked, but the offset was 45 and they rubbed on the brakes :cry:

[heineck]

dude that sucks, lemme see so if the offsets too high itll rub inward and too low theyll stick out?

[kwhauck]

yep........and it really depends on the width of the rims too.....

[AJules]

wow those are sexy

[kwhauck]

are you kidding me? those thinking are fuckin hideous!!! gross, plus i'm not exactly sure the 8.5" wide would fit in the front.....

[Valley olds]

Those rims literally made me lol. Thanks for the laugh AJules :lol:

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

yeah, on second though...they're not gold enough....gold would look better than that...but I like the shape...

[AJules]

yeah I'm not all that much of a fan of the colors either

but I like the shape

If I had the money, I'd buy them and recolor them or something

[deathwish666]

okay...im gonna be a noob...

why are the wheels im looking at 17x7...is the 2nd number width? will it fit on the alero?

https://www.edgeracing.com/wheel/3561/

edit: put in the link to them

[heineck]

those are the ones i want but in 18's i think 17 looks to small its cool for a coupe just not a sedan

[Valley olds]

Yup, the second number is the width. It should fit the alero (size-wise), depending on the tire profile you choose. I, myself have 15x7s on my car. As long as you choose the right tire profile it should be the same thing.

[TheMeaningOfLife]

ok cars that are same bolt pattern

Mustang
Thunderbird 90's and up
Eclipse
Talon
Laser
Cougar
Camaro
Firebird
350z
Altimas
maxima
and alor more

114.3 and 115 both work on the ho

[billytheman1188]

Personally, I find it VERY useful.

You find it useful because you have a 4-banger. Where is the performance section for the LA1!?

[billytheman1188]

^^^or the ecotec:rolleyes2: haha

[kwhauck]

those are the ones i want but in 18's i think 17 looks to small its cool for a coupe just not a sedan

you do know the coupe and sedan are the exact same size length and width right?

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

^ ture, but I know what he's saying. the coupe "looks" bigger (based on body lines, and the size of the doors), so it would need bigger wheels.

[bmxracer2]

does anyone know what other cars have the same bolt pattern as the alero alot of wheel sites dont have olds listed in their vehicle selects. Is there any other car that i could order rims for that would fit?

Hey man you can order wheels that would fit a Pontiac Grand Am its the same car pretty much depending what model you have if you have the 3.4 v6 your golden thats what mine has
U could also try universal's they should work

[alerored04]

Why would the engine have anything to do with which wheels fit? You must not have read any of the thread. Noobs. :icon_rolleyes:

[mach3]

can someone tell me if these specs would fit then?
Size: 18x7.5
PCD: 5x114.3
ET: 35

This may help you to judge if something will fit for future referrence. A tire tech at a local shop here explained what the numbers means. The first number is the number of bolt holes and the second number is the distance in milimeters from the center of any one bolt hole to the centre of the furthest bolt hole opposite that. It should be easy to tell which holes if you imagine connecting the holes to form a star. So with this said, the difference between the two bolt patterns mention in this thread is 0.7 mm.

Next time you put your wheels on take a look at the fitting, there's about at least 1mm to spare between the hole and the bolt. So yes it will fit as Ion already mentioned.

[AJules]

here are those rims in black and grey
