petawawarace Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 My car has a fairly odd bolt pattern. 5x110. I need 17” wheels to clear my brakes. I run spacers, so I could adapt to whatever 5 bolt pattern I want. Is there a very common pattern that I should aim for to save money on wheels. More common used ones for example. Or should I not bother, and just buy wheels with my pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been picking up 17 x 8 and 17 x 9 for an average of $50 Cdn/rim. Might even be able to swap Equinox hubs on. You'd have to check dims. https://www.kijiji.ca/b-ontario/5x115-rims-17"/k0l9004?rb=true&sort=priceAsc&dc=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleric Sanders Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 A lot of BMW rims are 5x120. Lots of reasonable used rims and great aftermarket support with many width and offset options. I just got some Apex ARC-8's for my car, as it was the next logical step in our build. The $70 used OEM set I got 2-3 years ago had been good to us.

smitham32803 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 5x120 is also the GM wheel spacing from the 90's up on camaros and corvettes, so there are some other options as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Large cars were 5x5) Gen 5 and up Camaros are 120 for some reason. Have heard of people using BMW wheels on Camaros with no problems. Have also heard they tend to loosen up.

mhr650 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 I know very little about 5 bolt wheel applications, but as someone who has a car that started out with even weirder 4X110 wheels I can feel your pain and offer some general advice about wheel adapters. Whatever you pick make sure it fits an application that is very popular in the aftermarket, I used 4X100 Miata wheels because nothing has as many reasonably priced options available. You will probably need wheels from something that uses a pretty large offset, because there is a limit on how thin you can make the wheel adapters. Big hint, if you look at the picture of my car closely you can see that there is a big difference between the thickness of the front and rear adapters, that is not unintentional.

Bandit Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 What bolt pattern would have the most options for front drive? Loads of wheels in 5x4.75 but not FWD offsets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petawawarace Posted July 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thanks guys. I’ll do a bit more research on the bmw and a few others. Id like them to be square all around too. Easier that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eman911 Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Virtually nothing in 5x98. Speaking from experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
