Ill be testing my studs here pretty soon if i get some 30mm spacers

 

I am looking for a 06 SS wheel like the the one's on LuSe4's car above. Dealer wants over $400.00 Hit a pot hole and cracked one. Any help will be appreciated.. Thanks, jacko

 

Ebay has these wheels for far cheaper than what a dealership wants for them. Search for impala ss wheels also because they are the same thing. You can also call up some salvage yards.

 

Jacko, I answered that same question a few posts up

No need to post the same thing and larger.

 

Haha, I missed that.

 

Am I reading this correctly...5x114.3 rims fit our cars without any other needed modification?

 

The bolt pattern fits. That doesnt mean that ANY 5x114.3 wheel will fit. You still have to take into account the offset of the wheel. As long as the wheel clears the calipers and doesnt rub or stick out too far, you will be good.

 

Ah..ok. I understand. Do you know the offset of the stock Monte 6th gen wheels?

 

i never heard of anyone breaking the studs either. i have regual factory studs and no space. had my wheel for 3 years too. done few burn out and run at the track. who ever broked their studs probably either over tighten or cross thread the lug nuts.

 

well, i bought a set of motegi 18x8" ff5 rims from a guy on craigslist that said he had them on a monte carlo. i went to slip them on my wheel studs and noticed the rim's holes dragged hard across the studs. took a measurement
and they were 5x114.3, not the 5x115 of my '05 monte carlo. looking closely at the stud holes on the motegi rims, i noticed they were oval
shaped due to stress.

guy i bought them from said he was selling them because he
was out of state when a rear wheel started vibrating really bad, and it
was very difficult to get an 18" tire in 245/45-18 to match the other
side. my guess is the tire was ruined because of bad alignment of the
wheel on the hub because of repeated rotations and seasonal changes.
could not find any hub centric rings on the wheels, and i don't think they would have fit with the rims stud holes as they were.

i've worked in several machine shops, and if you made a 114.3 part for
a 115 job, we would throw it away.

p.s. there seems to be some pretty good looking wheel adapters that
go from 115 car to 114.3 wheel on ebay with studs
