thinking about new rims/tires

[Wolfman AK907]

Don't search by car, search wheels by size 16x7 4x100.

hey wolfman! I checked out the static wheels....... you didnt tell me u were buying them for me (at $155 ea) lol
Call me cheap but my budget is less than $100 a wheel
they are nice though.....
I checked all the 4 x 100's.....you saying any of those would work on the aveo? Or does it still need to be certain additional specifications? (ofcoarse 4 bolt pattern)

[Wolfman AK907]

They will fit as long as the hub bore on them is more than 56.6mm I think. I'm pretty sure that's what ours are, but most aftermarket rims are made to accommodate nearly any 4x100 car as they can sell more this way. You may just need to get hub centric rings if the bore is too big, but I've run without them before with no problems as long as you use acorn style lug nuts. Like I said, those rims were just an example. You can get some really cheap deals on there on rims. $100 a rim is pretty easy to find.

The "4" in the "4x100" IS the number of bolts, so it's not a separate specification. :P

Oh. I feel dumb now.

[Wolfman AK907]

4bolts x 100mm. No biggie, how else are you gonna learn unless you ask.

[serega12]

Kind of like 17" rims are not all created equal... the second number matters too... 17x7 will fit, 17x7.5 (7.5" wide) may fit (depending on your drop and offset)... And 17x8 most likely won't fit. unless you're using spacers (i.e. the aveo extreme, I think they're actually wider than 8" in the back).

[Wolfman AK907]

8" wide will not fit without the assistance of a sledge hammer, trust me I've tried. My MSR 17 were 7.5. It was close, but cleared...probably would've rubbed if I dropped it. I think mine were +35et, can't remember.

I'm thinking of adding these spacers to push the rear wheels out an 1"
That will make my wheels flush with the fender lip.

[Kalos Princess]

Don't think width will be a problem. I'm back to thinking about 15". :/ who said women are fickle! Lol good thing I'm not buying them for a while, huh?
