wheel questions.

Ok someone had told me that these would fit a camaro because they have "Multi fit pattern".... But they came of a dodge so i was thinking they wouldn't.. Can we get some clarification.. Im not sure what the wheels are but i have pictures of them http://nmi.craigslist.org/pts/425680791.html

Re: wheel questions.

its hard to say with just a picture, the pattern could be 5 on 4.5 and 5 on 5.75, and in that case they would fit the bolt pattern. but what is the width and the backspacing/offset? you would probably have to use spaces just by looking at them.

Re: wheel questions.

alright, i did a little research for you and from what i can find the dodge avenger came with the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. So since these are dual pattern wheels, i would be comfortable saying that they are the 5 on 4.5 and 5 on 4.75 pattern. the only issue is the offset.

Re: wheel questions.

Well since they were on a FWD car, I'm betting the offset isn't going to be right. I might be wrong but the offset on those isn't anywhere near where you want it to be.

Re: wheel questions.

just by looking at how the wheel is made, you will need a spacer to place the outside of the rim out where yours is now. do you even know how wide these rims are? stock width on those cars is 7". So at that point the wheel may actually fit, but it will sit VERY far in the wheel well

i dont know what your plans are with these wheels, but they are most likely 16x7 will need spacers, and come with short 25" tires. not quite a steal once you add the cost of the spacers, new tires and headaches

Re: wheel questions.

im not planning on putting them on my car... Me and a buddy of mine were having an argument and he said you could just slap them on his firebird right away and drive it around...I thought he wouldn't even have the right bolt pattern and would need spacers if it was... So i was wrong about the bolt pattern part now im trying to find out if i was wrong about spacers or not... I had no intentions of getting them in the first place.
