: Will These Rims Fit? Says No - Looks like Yes

Ok, I am now confused.

I really like these rims but all of my research says that they will NOT fit.

http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findWheelByBrandDetail.do?rc=FLOINT&wd=18&pc=71705&typ=&rcc=&rw=8&bp=5-112

Now the funny thing is I think the rims on the E below are the same ones. They DO fit. I have an 2004 AWD EX AT (NBP). The rims in the picture are on a 2005 AWD LX. :confused:

According to the link to Discount Tire, the bolt PCD listed is 5 x 112. The Element has a PCD of 5 x 114.3 so the rims as listed, will not fit. You'd have to find someone who carries these Enkei's in 5 x 114.3. An offset of +35 should work, esp w/an 8" width rim.

Here are some part #'s. http://www.enkei.com/LuxurySpecs/lm15s.html

And here is another source carrying all the sizes. http://www.buywheelstoday.com/products/?id=297

You want 5x114.3.
Best offset? Not sure.

So the rims on the red E are the same wheels just 5 x 114.3. After seeing your response I went to Enkeis website and found that they do make a 5 x 114.3. I guess Discount doesn't carry that size.

It's all clear now....

Thanks K-Dogg.

Thanks Empire for the links.

BTW I am doing the Forever Black on my E this weekend. Wish me luck. Have to thank you for that post. I have moved to Orlando FL and it is pretty hot and muggy so I am not sure if that will make a difference in applying the FB.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the pic. I think I am going to add those to my E but after seeing your E I think I will also have to lower it. Looks great.

Don't know a thing about wheel or tire prices in Florida, but since Discount Tire is a bona fide Enkei dealer, the right floor shark should be happy to order them for you. A Discount Tire dealer here in Minnesota did that for me, once I'd decided on a set of 15" Enkei's they didn't have in stock locally. They may be cautious about the fact 20" wheels aren't on the "standard fitment" list, so be patient, or find the right guy to help you. I was thrilled with the service (and the price) I got from them.
