That doesn't mean they are good because they came stock. Put a real wheel/tire on it. Looks better and performs better, even on the street for a daily driver.

Get what you pay for. Better to save longer and get what you really want.

center bore on a 4th gen is 70.3 so you'd have to get those machined to fit. also, assuming they are spec'ed for a 5th gen the offset will be wrong too

no point in buying a wheel that is the same width as the factory wheel you are replacing it with. as said above, save up for something at least 9" wide otherwise just keep the factory wheels. my .02

The will fit, but you're going to have to do some work to get them to work. Specifically, you're going to have to bore the hub of the wheel out some to get it to fit over the 4th gen's hub. If you do a search you should be able to find a how-to post explaining what you have to do. Also, the bolt pattern isn't a direct match (120 vs. 120.65), but they will bolt on without any other modifications.

When I bought my car, it had a set of 20" wheels that were not going to work for me. I found a set of 18s off of a 5th gen and paid a hundred bucks for them and painted them gunmetal gray. They're different than the ones you posted. They're not super wide, but I put a set of tires on it that were stock width and height.

I don't intend for this to be the car's "final form" or anything, just a temporary thing until I can save up for what I really want. You can see them in my profile picture.

Your stock wheels should be at least as wide already. no one is running these wheels on a 4th gen or older.

I mean by the time you buy these, and machine them to fit you couldve just picked up a nice looking set of 4th gen wheels or some decent ones off of craigslist.

Those probably wouldnt fit without spacers anyway looking at the offset. If they did they will be tucked deep.

Are those aluminum or steel? Most companies don't offer chrome rims on aluminum. And if they are steel the are heavy as F. My friend got a set of 17 Cragers for his 69 camaro. I almost **** when I picked up a rim. Wheel are the worst place you wanna add weight to.

What wheels do you have now? There are always 4th gen rims in the classifieds. You could probably find something with decent tires and still spend less than that, just saying.

this is what i would suggest if on a budget, find something used that has decent tires. also, you are still looking at a factory width wheel for the front (smaller than factory on SS and WS6 models). these cars love more tire (ie wider wheel) in the front for good handling, if that's your thing

Ok.. Thank You guys for the great info..!! I heard back from the ebay Ridler rims.. They say the front backspacing in 4.5” and the rears are 5.5”... Wish they would have sent the info in millimeters . Im confused because when I convert inches to millimeters I get #s that dont come close to what the chart says....

that's because backspacing (what they gave you) and offset (what is in the sticky) are two different measurements. backspacing is the measurement from the inside edge of the wheel to the mounting surface and is always in inches, offset is the measurement from the centerline of the wheel and the mounting surface and is always in millimeters. ask them for the offset of the wheels to compare to the sticky, judging by the wheel description and seeing the +0mm i am guessing that is the offset and they wont be close to fitting a 4th gen, but i would ask to be sure
