Will these rims fit?

[b-spot]

17x8's

114.3 x 5

+40 offset

I think they should be good.. but don't wanna goof up on this one ;)

[r53silver91s]

U can use that bolt pattern, but some have had problems with it and others have not.

[b-spot]

offset is okay though? what range will work for our cars?

and will hubcentric rings get rid of those problems?

[r53silver91s]

I'm not farmiliar with hub and lug centric rings so I don't know. The offset is good, I believe anywhere from 38-42 is okay.

i didnt have trouble with 5x114.3 on my car but, im told it depends on the company...see if you can have one put on to test first

[havik]

I heard from other members that there could be some vibration issues with the 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

[99blackalero]

i had vibrations coming from the rear, but spacers fixed it right up

I have 114.3 wheels on mine and it would shake at 60mph and above. I got some hub-centric rings and it stopped completely.

Would 45+ be pushin it to far???

[MACBUYA]

CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHAT HUB CENTRIC RINGS ARE...AND/OR WHERE TO BUY THEM, PLEASE AND THANK YOU

[3.4Alero]

Sportalero, +45 will not fit.

MACBUYA (I refuse to type it out), hubcentric rings are rings that fit over your hub to tighten the fit of the wheel over the hub, which is what handles the brunt of the weight. Stock wheels don't need them because the center bore is drilled exactly to fit the hub, but most aftermarket wheels are not. If you don't use them, you put more stress on the lugs than they are designed to handle.

I have 114.3 with hubcentric rings.... no problem. (17x7)

[MACBUYA]

thanks 3.4alero...

Just noticed my first bit of shaking at high speeds today :S

The jackass at the tire place said he put hubcentric rings on, but now i'm not so sure...

[3.4Alero]

When was the last time your car was aligned?

[b-spot]

About 4 months ago, and I had to get it done twice (the dealership did it) because they messed it up the first time. I'm gonna try find somewhere decent to get it checked out that won't mess it up.

Everytime my alignment has been slightly out, or the wheels have been slightly out of balance I don't notice it until high speeds, so i guess i should get those checked out.
