***rim Size*** Gonna Buys Some Today

[AleroBloke]

i am gonna buy some new rims today (yaaah) but i'm wondering, i know i can ask the guy who's selling but i was checkingon ebay too. and they have a 5 lub with like a 100 ors omething like that.......it looks like this 18X7.5 5X100 and i was wondering for our cars what would be the correct fit. in an 18 and 19 would a univ. 5 to 4 lug fit? or just a five lug. and what about that number they post after the lug number?

Rims i want, will they fit? how will they llook (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7949225433&category=43958)

wont fit. have to be 5x114.3 or 5x115. did u click either link oldsman posted?
edit: just noticed the offset on those rims is +20, so even if they'd fit, they would stick out from your wheelwell.

[AleroBloke]

yeah i checked the links out, i just don't know what those rimm numbers mean, so i jus posted the link..but thanks though!! hehe

[AleroBloke]

seriously do a search on a question like this, not only that, oldsman provided 2 links with all the fitment ranges

a +35offset will stick out of your fenders, the front may look funny the rears should look ok, since stock they stick in to far. if your car is dropped, you may have rubbing issues on your fender.....do a search and see what others are running for offsets, personally id go +38 or higher, up to +43.

i personally am not a fan of the fake rivits going around the rim, my last rims had those and i didn't like them

[Final-Reality]

The rims look nice, and personally I think the stock offset tucks the tires too far into the wheel wells. They should come out a half inch or so, you can drop your just as much as you can if your wheels were tucked inside the wheel well, the edge of the rim really doesnt intrude any more than the wheel well plastic shroud does.. of course if you drop your car too much rubbing is going to be a problem either way..

[mike2002]

a +35 sticks out MORE than a +40, its opposite of what you would think.

if you found a rim that was like +48 that tucks in to much, and may rub on turns, you could always put spacers behind it.

^ this link will show you what some of the numbers mean (this is also for a Monte Carlo, so don't use THOSE NUMBERS). You can/should use this or something LIKE this as a reference.

[AleroBloke]

Will a 35MM positive offset be bad? cuz these rims i want are 18X7.5 5 lug x 114.3 with a 35mm positive offset.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

perfect! :thumbsup:

for normal wheels, 35 thru 42 positive offsets are good.
20's are when the rules start to change a tad. I don't know exactly how, you'd have to ask Richie (AftermathAlero). He just put 20's on.

[white04alero]

Size Offset Backside Bolt Circle
18x10 +41 7 1/8 5-4 1/2

would these fit on my alero?

[Travis99Alero]

do u think a 10" wide wheel is gonna fit your car?

[white04alero]
