Bolt Pattern Question

[3.4Alero]

I know this has been discussed before, but I want info specifically from racers this time.

On our cars, 5x115 is the actual bolt pattern, but with the correct fitment (hubcentric rings and lugcentric rings) 5x114.3 will work. Some have had issues with the 5x114.3 pattern, others have not. Has anyone who races (preferably autocross and road race) put 5x114.3 wheels on, and have you had any problems with them?

Thanks!!

Ask Matt Fuller. I think he would be your best bet for info on this.

Talked to mfuller and yiddishbdg (the only two that I know of that race). Anyone else?

i didnt race but i have 5x114.3...only problem i can say i have is that it vibrates slightly at 120 km/h, and doesnt with my stock wheels back on...im not sure if that has to do with balancing or the bolt pattern

yes I was serious, because I could have picked up free rims and tires if that pattern worked

[Travis99Alero]

if they're free, u should take them anyways. u could always sell them to help buy new rims, or just keep them incase u ever get a car that is 5x110.

Got my wheels, thanks. I ended up getting a really good deal on Finn 104's, still in the boxes. They are 5x115

[Final-Reality]

Since you race it, what width 3.4? And what tread width do you plan on running?

[3.4Alero]

The wheels are 17X7.0. I could run a 235/45/17, but the wheels came with 225/45/17 toyos, so I'll run them until they die.

Are they Fz4's?? If so, you tried em out yet?? I just got these, but the roads here are covered in about 6" of slush, so i haven't gotten to do anything fun yet :)

[3.4Alero]

Yes, they are FZ4's. And no, I haven't tried 'em. They aren't mounted on the wheels yet. I'll probably get them mounted in a couple of weeks, and start using them around mid-march to early April, depending on weather.
