Stupid n00b wheel bolt pattern question

Okay, I know that Mustang's use a slightly different bolt pattern, but we can still use their wheels. My question is, would this wheel fit my Regal?

Wheel Offset: 47mm

Bolt Pattern: 5x114

i look at it this way... if the BP is actually 5x114 it would fit on a mustang which is 5x114.3 but i dont think it would fit on a 5x115 BP

and i am thinking of mine here with a 42mm offset not totally sure what yours is. is that +7 gonna tuck the wheel in or push it out?

i hate offset thats why i honestly limited my tire choices to what will fit my car not what might fit :lol: much easier for me that way. my offset stays the same with my new rims i am just plus sizing

I'm pretty sure the website just rounds the number to 114mm. I believe if that offset is similar to a regular mustang wheel it will fit on a Regal. There are a couple guys on RegalGS.org that have mustang wheels on their cars.

 

EDIT: and IIRC 2nd gen wheels have like a ~42mm offset from the factory so it's really not a big difference.

Hmm.. $600. Those wheels would so look tits.

 

Any other comments on the wheels themselves? I hope to high hell they fit!

 

There are tons of wheel shops in Georgia, I'd try to find one that has some of those wheels in stock...and see if they'll let you test fit one.

I didn't even click the link the first time I read the thread :lol: ....I think that those wheels would look great on your regal.

The wheels look great and would look tits on your car.

 

But lets see, your car has a +52mm offset on the wheels. Those are +42mm offset. Basically they are going to stick out a tad more. 5mm more, or .2", or roughly 3/16", not that much at all. Width wise, they should fit.

114.3 and 115 are close enough for the bolt pattern. I did it on my 97 GP GT worked without cause any concern at all, fit like it was supposed to. Offset is another story all together.

I've heard bad stories of ppl with 115 bolt pattern using a 114.3 wheel and having the studs break off. Get a adapter/spacer from 114.3 to 115. 1" thick high quality lightweight

With those wheels being a +47 offset after this spacer/adapter they will be +22 (pushed out look :twisted:)

I'm not sure which one I'd trust more. Studs under a little extra stress, or those adapters. Not to mention I wouldn't want them sticking out THAT far. Any estimate on how much it would be?

Ur joking right? Those adapters are very safe compared to regular spacers. They have OEM studs included. IIRC 45ish for each adapter x 4.

I swear I am going to kill someone if they bring up the "studs breaking off with 144.3"

 

That is bullshit. 077's are 114.3 and so are my Konigs and there are never issues.

 

Those wheels, with that width and offset should fit fine.
