wheels and tires

found some new wheels and tires for my 96 metro LSI for a steal they re 185/70R13 from a toyota and i was wondering if they'll fit my car. I currently have 175/70R13. The guy said his tires are 4-100 bolt pattern,i dont know what does that mean and if that's the size on my metro.

You need 4x114, that's the diameter of the bolt circle.

If you measure your bolt pattern on your Geo, you will notice that when measured directly across from each other ( Diagonal ) they will measure 4 1/2". This also comes out to be 114.3mm The bolt pattern you got with the Toyota wheels is 4 X 100 or 4 x 4". Sorry but they will not bolt onto your car.:banghead:

I thought so too, in addition i didn't want to devestate my gas mileage by putting on wider tires where gas is around 4$.i get great gas mileage and i want to keep it that way.
I appreciate it the inputs.

Going from 175 to 185 is not going to make any appreciable difference. The wider tire will lose mileage a very slight bit, but the added diameter will improve it a very slight bit.

Hey I have a 94 geo metro with 12 inch rims. now I work in a junk yard and have been watching for some 13 rims and so far none match the bolt pattern besides a 95 and up metro. so I guess the question is what other car matches the geo metro bolt pattern?

Thanks

I just bought a set this week at the local yard. They never have any newer metros so I bought a set from a mitsubishi mirage.
