Im lookin at buying rims tomarrow from craigslist. the guy has a pair of 18s with 225/40/18r tires on them. the rims are helo he825s in black. just want to know if the tires and everything will fit bolt pattern is a 114.3. i believe that and the 115.0 will fit also correct?

 

the bolt pattern on a Monte is 5x115. I do not recommend using any other bolt pattern even though the 114.3 will most likely go on. You could wind up snapping studs.

 

they should fit!

 

okay i got one guy that says yes and another that says no. not sure what to think. iknow some people to have 114.3 rims. i have had a very very hard time finding 115. on c-list. 114.3 is pretty common.

 

you may not want to use those, I stand corrected.. here is a post from another chevy forum..

A 114.3mm bolt pattern will fit on a set of 115mm pattern lugs BUT, if the wheel does not center on the hub bore the first lug nut to be tightened pulls the wheel .7mm off center and the rest of the lugs bend to accommodate that off-center. If the wheel does index on the hub bore, then all 5 lugs bend inward slightly to accommodate the bolt circle difference. Either way, the setup is not right. I would be very wary of driving around on 20 slightly bent lugs. 0.7mm is not much, but that still doesn't make it right. The wheel should have all the weight of the vehicle on the hub and not on the lugs

 

im on the fence on this one. i have done alot of research. people say yes and people say no. but 80% of the people that say no have never tried it. alot of GP owners run the 114.3 and a few montes do. but i still dont know. i guess if they dont fit i could always resell them or something
