bolt pattern question

[Hands428]

i know the bolt pattern for the 99 gase is 5x115. i found some 18" rims that i love but their bolt pattern is 5x114.3. Will these still fit on my car?

They will fit. May be a bit tight, but it will fit. Any other opinions? :)

The bolt circle is too small , for safetys sake i would use the correct 5x115 . The lugs will not be concentric in the bolt holes . :canada: :usa:

if that size won't work, is there an adapter i can buy that would make it work? im not sure if there is a such thing but im pretty sure i have heard of one. thanks for the help

I agree with Colin, but most the people with aftermarket wheels on GAs are using 114.3mm. Is you do decided to use them make sure you use a hubcentric ring. It's a little ring that goes around your hub to help center the wheel. This is especially important because the lugnuts won't seat in the center as they should with normal wheels. Also when you install them tight each on until it is snug first. Then go around and tighten them in a star pattern (every other one). Make sure they are torque to 100ft/lbs, I would also re-check the torque after driving it for a day or so.

here we go again:D
I have 114.3 pattern rims on my car and they DO fit FINE
You MUST purchase lugcentric lugnuts in order for the rims to mount correctly.
I did purchase the hubcentric rings but they do not fit on my car, i still have them sitting in my center console.
I havent had any problems yet! Good luck :thumbup:

I do agree with John on the star pattern as you tighten them as you should do that with any wheel.

thanks for the help ramairgt1. where do i buy the lugcentric lugnuts? and how much did u pay for them? im looking at some 18s also, but do u think there is enough room to fit 19s? (i don't have lowering springs, so its stock height) thanks again

I told the guy at the eagle alloy dealer what i needed and he included the lugnuts at no extra charge. When you purchase your rims ask the dealer about them. Hope this helps

What is a lugcentric lugnut?
