Will these fit???
I found some rims that I am considering purchasing. I am curious to know if anyone else can tell me for sure if they will fit my 2003. Here are the specs...
16x7 wheel size
5 on 4.5 bolt pattern
Backspace = 5.65in.
Max Load = 1600lbs
Offset = 42mm
My guess is that they will fit. From what I have seen, the bolt patter I need is 5X4.53. I was concerned about the .03 that they could be off. That is hardly anything though, so I'm thinking they will fit.

5x4.5 is the ford, mopar pattern so they will bolt up. obviously you shouldnt use a rim that isnt your exact bolt pattern because there are tales of studs being sheared off, and what not, but there are far more tales of high hp cars running slicks on them with no problem. im not sure about the offset its not something im well versed in, but considering its such a narrow wheel im going to assume itll be ok. any pics of these wheels?

Yeah, that's what I thought too. According to discount tire's website, the offset is ok. They give the bolt pattern as 5x115. I did a little research and found that the standard measurement for the bolt pattern is 5x4.53. I'm assuming they will fit. Gonna go check them out after work today. They are American Racing Casino rims. Here is a picture...

they look good. i think theyre going to look odd in that small a size though. id want to run a 18" or bigger. the monte isnt exactly the smallest car nor does it have the smallest wheel openings. 16s on them always looks undersized to me.

Agree with the 16s looking funny statement.
Also 5x114.3 is not our absolute correct bolt pattern

I've thought the same thing about the 16's. I had 17's at one point and liked the size of them. These are pretty reasonable priced, and they're better then the plain black steel wheels I currently have...

are those chromed steel? i used to run a set of cragers like that on my 80 and hey had a bad habit of rusting constantly. they were a real pain. had to brillo pad them all the time. be careful with the offset/backspacing with those also. theyre more commonly run on rwd cars. you dont want to look like all those fools out there with there civics with rwd rims with the painted centers.
