my friend has a srt4 and he is selling his wheels,theyre not stock,i think theyre foose. we put them on my car while it was jacked up and they seemed to fit fine i was just wondering anyone think ill run into any problems with them,my car is lowered by a eibach sportline package.any feedback would be appriciated

There are many people with sportline springs running 18" wheels, so 17" will not be a problem. As long as the bolt pattern is 5X100 and the offset isn't too terrible it should work just fine. Ideal offset would be +35. That would be flush with the body, but people have different offsets. My rims are +42, which makes them sit in a little bit, but don't get anything lower than +35, as that would stick out from the side, like an ugly trash lowrider.

theyre actually a tiny bit thinner than my tires but trhyre taller is theyre that much room in the wheel well?

I seem to recall that they are 5x114 because my buddy sold his SRT4 wheels to my other friend with a RX7.

wouldnt the offstets be off due to the diff in fwd-rwd

Most of the time you can make them work either way, if there a genearl offest.

Maybe the wheel this guy has is 5-lug universal.

LMAO, your kidding right?
Ok, I went to Tirerack.com and it says the bolt pattern for the neon srt-4 is a 5x100, so they should work fine.

I have scion tc wheels, which are 17x7 and they fit great, they do raise the car a bit more, which i nice for my lip kit.

I know you're probably just passing on information you've read, but you cannot make suggestions about offset without knowing the wheel's width. I wrote a how-to for this exact reason:

Wheel Offset Guide

Universal 5 lug is 5X100 and 5X114. So go "LMAO" to that.

i think he LMAO because you said OEM str4 wheels are universal rims...when they only have 1 bolt pattern @ 5x100

In the 1st post he says "They're not stock"

I know OEM wheels are one pattern, but since he says they are not the stock wheels I asked about universal 5-lug.

a good point...put if foose...then its most defenitly a 1 pattern rim

yes probably true.

yes theyre not stock.they are foose rims and the size of the tires are 205 50 17 what im worried about is they look awfully tight in the well should i have any problems turning at all? hes also selling his stock turbo that wouldnt fit would it,i know stupid question i just wanted to know

no the turbo won't fit

damn well there goes that ideathanks tho

I was thinking the same thing, and as you can see a 19" rim will fit with no problems.

I found out today that they were a mutilug rim, and factory SRT4 is 5x100.

nowitzon - me and you are a testament that 19"s fit, dont you just love how 19"s raise the car so much, I reccomend coil overs I dropped mine on Tech-S's and still is a monster truck.

BTW I am going bigger then 19"s now....
