Hi everyone....


Was wondering if anyone knows if rim off a nissian altima will work on a 04 alero? Found a great deal on some wheels, but not sure if they will fit. Need some tires anyway. Thanks

Just because a wheel is 5 x 115 doesn''t mean it will fit. If the wheel width and offset are much different than stock it could A: tire will rub on the strut B: If the wheel has a negative offset the tire may hit the fender. As an example, the 19x10 rear wheel off a Nissan 350z with a 5 x 115 wheel stud pattern will not fit an Alero. That is a RWD car of course.

You are correct, my comment was made ***-u-m(e)ing the questioner knew enough to go with the same wheel size. Typical non-custom wheels are very close offset so as long as they are not custom and same wheel size and bolt patter they should work. Sorry, i should have been more specific.

You have nothing to be sorry about. I learned a long time ago that if someone is asking will this fit, will this work on my car, can I do this or that?, they probably don''t know much about cars or are too lazy to search the web for the answer. Most people see something on someone elses car and they want to do the same thing, thinking it was bought from a store or can easily be done. So I don''t tell people, sure they will fit without knowing the size or what not. I would be pissed off if I bought something because someone told me it would fit and doesn''t. There was a waste of money and time. No one like to waste money[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

Well, they do not fit. Thanks for your help any ways. True the lug pattern will work, however, the center knock out is to small (the inner lip is different) As for being lazy and not searching the net, well, I did that but had hoped that some else had maybe tried and found something I missed... As I ended up learning after trying them in person. I do agree that it is best to be more accurate in describing what is needed. Again, thanks for the help.
