wont fit cuz you have captive rotors

thats our bolt pattern you just cant clear cuz of the studs on the rotors

^ faith and tibby are correct.

its 4x114.3. did you notice the 4 HUGE protruding bolts stickin outta the hub? yea, thats why you're havin a problem.

couple ways around it: find rims that have the holes already on the rim in the back (good luck with that)

drill your own holes (not recommended. diminishes the strength/integrity of the rim)

or do a captive to non-captive swap click here... although, to visit that link you must be a member at hyundaiperformance.com

Welcome to the forums Tib97, but PLEASE DO A SEARCH, been covered like a million times.

And what the guys have said so far is perfectly correct.
4X114.3 rims will fit!
Only reasons why it wouldn't fit is because it's either:
1. Actually 4X100 and not 4X114.3, or they are multi pattern and you tried it on the wrong pattern
2. You have huge ass studs called captive Rotors and that's why they don't sit flush to your calipers.

Gonna leave this open for a day then it's locked,...

i know how to install a rim.... lol its just the captive rotor crap u guys are talking about, which is pretty whack but o wells im just gonna get my rims painted black ( not a crappy paint job) and drop my car. I dont want to be dealing with the swap, i need my car for school. And Patrick thanks for the message, u explained everything these guys said above but before.
Thanks everyone and ill put up some picks when i can.
