Default will 14" fit my car???

it's from accent GT. I know it has same bolt patter but what i'm worried about is the OFFSET and the clearance of the brake caliper
Have Hyundai changed the size on the rotors since 97? if not, then I wouldn't have problem but if they enlarged it, then I might have problem

My question is...why do you want to go with a smaller rim??? If you do, then you'll need a 65 series tire so that it stays within the factory diameter.

Jin, why would you even consider accent wheels?

1) Your calipers will most likely NOT fit unless you goto accent brakes.

2) The accent wheels aren't wide enough to hold a tire with enouh extra rubber to get u down the track faster. No reason to do this.

BTW, don't u have 17's already?

Look for a set of stock tiburon 14" steelies. They will accept wider rubber than the accent rims and you will have no problems with brake clearance.
