if any1 has some wheels and/or snow tires up 4 sale let me know
thanks

 

Well hello there! lol...I just happen to have 4 new tires and rims....(snow tires) Paid 1100 used for three months...will sell for 900 plus shipping....will post some pics if you like. PM me if interested..

 

I think they are 5 x 115mm, I'll have to go home and measure my OEM 16's for offset, but I think around 30mm will work. Definitely do 16's for the winter. Hankook Icebears are a good tire for not much $. Tirerack or Discount Tire Direct have all kinds of choices.

 

i just read somewhere that is 5x108?
5x115 would be sweet i could put my 18s on her car just for fun but its a pian to find rims...any chance its 5x114.3???

 

Doh - you are correct, it is 5x108 - I got mixed up with the rims I ordered for my wife's car. Sorry bout' that.

 

and the offset?

also what other cars have this bolt pattern? ive never heard of 5x108 before lol
i wish all the car companies would just agree on 1 bolt pattern for cars and 1 for trucks, it would make finding rims a lot easier.

btw i heard that ottawa is gonig to have it the law that all vehicles have snow tires on them this winter...

 

Bolt pattern is 5 x 108, offset is 52 mm. Ford, Lincoln LS, and Volvo use this bolt pattern on some models. The Lincoln LS wheels have a pretty large offset. I don't know about the center bore. Anyone ever fit these wheels?

 

It's 5x108 for sure. Offset on a 7.5 inch wide rim is I believe, 38mm.

 

I think the center hub is around 65mm. My aftermarket 17's came with a hub spacer ring adapter for proper fitment. Most wheel distributors list the offset as "high" whatever that means.

I would buy from a reputable dealer like Tirerack or Discount Tire or the Canadian equivalent. They will know the fitment and you can return them if there is a problem. I avoid used rims unless you can check them for cracks and bends beforehand and make sure they can be balanced.
