Will these wheels fit my car?

I have a 99 Cav. I see the bolt pattern for my car as 5x100 and sometimes 5x100/114.3. Will 17x7 - 5x100 rims fit my car?

So long as the bolt patter is 5x100 they should be fine. Someone else here probably knows the maximum width of the tires, but if memory serves, 7 should be fine. 18" is usually fine, 19" might rub, 20" requires fender rolling.

I have 17x7's and they work fine. I have heard that you can get 19's in there without any rub as long as you get low enough profile tires.

Prety much, don't go bigger than 19" and i'd say 7.5 or 7 inches wide. and 5x100. You should be fine.

Re: Will these wheels fit my car?

I know a guy with 19's and air ride, he has rolled fenders but has no binding issues, they're 19x8. don't know the offset. Will try to find pics of his car. you need to be between 32-40 on the offset ideally or wheel bearing life will be drastically shortened

The offset is 40 on these. What would you recommend for tires? I'm thinking either 215/45/17 or 225/45/17.




Heres a pic:

Re: Will these wheels fit my car?

i have a quick question for the guys with 18's, how much did you guys lower your car? if you didnt how low could you drop it before you start rubbing?
