    Bolt pattern question...

    Okay, Found a potential set of wheels. Brand new too...my question is, has anyone used 5x115 wheels on an 8G?

    I know with the Grand Am crowd, 5x114.3 wheels do fit, just need hubcentric rings.

    America's/Discount Tire sells those wheels online for $73 each, and in the correct bolt pattern. The money you will spend on spacers to change the cars bolt pattern you may as well spend online going with a 17" or 18" set.

    You don't really wanna mess with the bolt pattern unless it's really worth it.

    See, that's just the thing...

    My Pontiac uses 5x115. My ROH Adrenalin's are 5x114.3, and fit just fine with hub rings.

    I was wondering if it was the same reversed. (use of just hub rings.)

    Issue with that...my stock chrome 16"s are long gone. I have steelies for the winter, but they don't fit the same as alloys. :/

    well i just read up on 5x115, if hubcentric rings help "fit" the rims on, then the reverse wont work....plus its easier to find 5x114.3 rims anyway

    Even if I weren't a brand whore, they aren't a good looking wheel and they're much too small for a G.

    16"s are a bit small. Like I said, the price caught my attention. Figured I'd see if they'd work.

    To be honest I don't really like those wheels specially they are not the right bolt pattern for our cars but if you like them and you think they will fit with some hubcentric its up to you that's your car and you money. I rather spend that money on some stock 3G wheels, they look better, quality, and they will fit with no problem. just my .02

    5x114.3 can be installed on 5x115 vehicles and vice versa. Just as 5x120 can be used on 5x120.75 vehicles and vice versa. It isn't recommended, but it is possible. You don't have to worry about hub centric rings to fit them to the car for any reason but the correcting the standard oversized hubbore on aftermarket wheels.

    That said...I've seen hundreds of cars get either 5x115 wheels (on 5x114.3 cars) or vice versa over the years without any issues whatsoever.

    Trust me the Seven X in silver and in 17 would look a hell of alot better on the G.

    Thank you! This pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as what I was looking for. I have very thin hub rings on my Pontiac with the ROHs because I had a vibration at first, but after the hub rings, I've never had an issue since, and I've clocked over 50,000 miles on these wheels.

    But I'm gonna pass on these wheels, find a better deal on some 17"s, preferably OEM ones. CL's starting to have some good deals lately.
