Haven't Been Having Much Luck
So I haven't had much luck finding a good set of rims, and if I can get this guy to lower the price, would these fit?

5x114.3 will fit but they're pretty controversial around here.. some people have them on and don't have any issues but others would rather not take the risk.. If I found a set such as those at a descent price I'd probably run them for a while but I'm not having a lot of luck either.

Sorry they'll probably go to my dad's monte first if I ever find different ones.. he has the same rims as you lol.
Some people think it will put extra stress on parts by running the 114.3.. I'm not sure exactly what it would hurt though.

You call other members idiots, that's pretty harsh Mike! They will work but there could always be an issue with them according to the forum idiots that Mike speaks of!

I don't know if I would pay that much for them with no tires. I always see rims on CL for less with good tires. If you shop around a bit you may be able to find brand new rims for that price.

All I know is the stock bolt pattern is 5x115. I've read people run patterns between 114-115 and they are a tight fit but hold. I'm a little skeptic of sizes that differ from the factory 115. I would wonder:
- Is it stressing the hub bolts in a manner they should not be stressed?
- Depending on the rim, when putting lugs on and off, will the socket rub? My 18's are the correct bolt pattern, but the cavity where the lugs sit in is so tight, if it was off by a little bit, I'm sure I'd be rubbing that cavity.
But looking at the car those wheels are on, how WIDE are the wheels? I think our stock wheels are about 17 inches wide. I'd hate to spend that cash on the wheels and find they look like bicycle wheels. And lastly, is there any concern of offset?
