Rim Fitting
Ok guys, I'am actualy being serius for once because this is high priority, ill start of by giving you situation:
I need to order rims by friday evening or else my Tib goes bye bye.
Next lemme tell you what i need:
either:
2 Excelent condition stock Tib rims for a 2000 (tnx Tibracer01 for your offer but ill pass, if u still have them when we go to the Cardova meet ill think about it.(to weigh my back down at the drag strip LMAO!)
or
4 new rims that would fit my 2000 Tib and i would be able to put on 195x40x15 tires on em. The rims HAVE to be 15's
Right now Sparticus is giving me live background and helping me out but your oppinions and ideas will help out also, tnx.
Do i need tuner-lugs?
btw ignore anything it says about it fitting a '97-'02 tib (or a 97-03 tib fitting rims, those are some hella magical 4/5 lug pattenrs)
(i will continue to update this as i look at more of them)

Well, I can help you out some.
You Need hub-Centric Rims.
4x114.3 Will Work. 4x100 Will NOT work.
I went to the local junkyard and pulled 4 steelies (but they were 14's) for $5 a piece. I am sure if you look hard enough you can find 4x114.3 in 15".
Other than that, rims are rims and everyone has a personal preference. As long as their 4x114.3 and hub-centric, they will work (without getting into width and offset lol).

hub-centric means it uses the hub to center itself (and also this helps take the strain off the lugs). As long as they look like they will just barly fit over the wheel berring caps, they are right.
The offset for the stockers is 42mm I believe.

1. your lug pattern on your car is 4x114.3
2. hubcentriks are a good idea for all after market rims. our stock rims have it built in, but most universal rims wont.
3. tuner lugs arn't nessicarly needed, but if you rims that have a hub cap to cover the lugs, you stock ones won't fit. i would get them anyways.
your choices... as of now
1.will work...those are pretty nice, i am accually thinking of getting a motegi set like that.
2.will work...those are ugly.
3.will not work...white???what are you thinking.
4.will not work...you must be desperate.
5.will not work...eww
6.will work...there are plenty of other choices.
7.will not work... ban2.gif
8.will not work...come on now
9.will work...why would you buy only two wheels unless they matched yours??
10.will work...mercury mistique?
11.ummm...don't know
