Default Enkei FN-18's on '04 SS..??

Hey guys,

I've got a set of Enkei FN-18's on my Cobalt SS right now.. These wheels have two bolt patterns.. 5x100 and 5x114.3.. I tried to do a Google search and it sounds like they might fit, but maybe with some extra adaptor or something..? They're 18x7.5 with +42 offset.. They're classy, yet sporty.. I think they'd look great on the Monte.. The Monte in question is an '04 SS that still has the stock 16x6's on it.. These Enkei's would be a BIG step up.. If these fit as-is, perfect, but if they need some type of adaptor or something, please give me a link or some info.. Please just let me know either way..

Thanks!

The wheels will bolt right on no problems, the tires are probably the wrong size.

They should bolt on, you might want to get a set of hub centric rings, check the offset though, thats the only thing that could be a problem

what size tires are on the rims now?

The tires are 215/45/R/18's.. They're a good, not insanely low-pro tire.. The wheel package cost over a grand, and I'd really hate it if I couldn't use them.. But it sounds like I can! So they'll 98% work as-is? How about the hub-centric rings..? What are those and how will they help me? Cost?

the hub centric rings are cheap, like $5 for 4 of them (thats all you need) they help for vibration if its an issue, and i know with the bolt patterns that are 114.3 or 115 they usually need hub centric rings just to be safe, it will eliminate any chance of vibration

Are those something that is universal? I'm not familiar with them at all.. Can I get them from a local parts store, or is that an eBay type deal? Are there any wheel spacers available with these cars? I think that a set of wheels set out to the fenders would look good.. I mean, these are 7.5 width instead of 6 already! But they'll bolt up 100% no problem as-is?
