what you think?
 
am i going to be ok going with 5x114.3 rims on my car?
i realy like these rims i been looking at but the patern is 5x114.3
and we have 5x115
i been reading alot of good and bad stuff
i dont know if i should or not get them ?

The Popcorn King 05-10-2009 03:25 PM

5X114.3 is not a problem. Some guys here are running Rustang wheels and they are 5X114.3. Now some will tell you need spacers, others will tel you, you don't. I guess it just depends on the wheel itself.

But the bolt pattern will fit.

iMSeRiOuS 05-10-2009 03:50 PM

I'd just go with the correct bolt pattern.

mrl390 05-10-2009 06:20 PM

5x114.3 is just fine. You wont notice any difference. They will fit just fine as long as the backspacing is the same.

The Popcorn King 05-10-2009 09:12 PM

LOL. You was one of the people that came to mind. There are also others here with those wheels.

nemesis 05-10-2009 09:53 PM

nice! i been seeing alot of black rims lately, chrome are nice but black is better. i wouldn't listen to those people talk bad on the 5x114 rims. those are the people you want to stay away from cause non of them have one on their car and they only go by words of mouth or read on what someone posted.

manny 05-10-2009 11:54 PM

so SILVERBULLIT?
did you use hubcentric rings or anything or just stuck the rims on?
and how long have you had them on ? and no prblems?

nemesis 05-11-2009 12:37 AM

no hub ring. the rims bolt right on. the bullitts on the mc about a year now. the saleen on the gtp about a month. i been burning rubber and once a while drag racing with the wheels on. once in awhile or when going to take long trip i would use a wrench to snug up the lug nuts little bit, not that it's loose or anything just to be on the safe side. you won't have any problem with the 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

manny 05-11-2009 07:35 AM

thank you
i eamiled the guy today and im picking the rims up
they are 18's and only cost me 400 for all 4
brand new

RickAKATed10 05-11-2009 10:37 AM

Good deal!

AwesomeSS 05-11-2009 10:49 AM

Cool man! Take lots of pics when you get them installed. What tires are you going with?

iMSeRiOuS 05-11-2009 12:19 PM

nice choice in rims, I'm going for something similar for my monte, cept more spokes.

manny 05-11-2009 10:48 PM

i find to many spokes to busy on a wheel
looks good when driving but when it stops just not my thing..
but everyone has diff. choices

manny 05-12-2009 11:29 AM

i was going to get the rims today but just wanted to know one more thing
is the 38 offset ok?

nemesis 05-13-2009 09:46 PM

you're good with that offset. i believe that's just about stock size offset. mine is +36

manny 05-14-2009 06:18 PM

well guys thanks for all your help
today i picked the rims up got them on my car
after i got home i looked at the sticker on the rims and it said 5x115 not 5x114.3
so the other owner thought it was 5x114.3
im very happy with the rims they are on my car right now
i will get pictures soon
thank you for all your help again

ChibiBlackSheep 05-15-2009 08:58 AM

They look really good! I love the polished lip!

ChibiBlackSheep 05-15-2009 01:54 PM

:( Honestly... I liked the other rims better...

Not to say these look bad!!! but I'm not a big fan of black rims on a non-black car.

ChevySSGirl 05-15-2009 01:58 PM

those i like. not too flashy and over the top. subtle. cool!

ChibiBlackSheep 05-15-2009 02:36 PM

not true about black headlights w/ hid. depending on the where you get hid kits at. my buddy with black headlights and zzp HID and his out shined brighter and further than my stock headlights with ebay HID. btw when you put new HID on you have to readjust the light beam.

manny 05-16-2009 10:23 PM
