Official Wheel and Tire Fitment Thread

That I’m not sure about. I’ve always heard vinyl is pretty durable but I’m not 100% on how durable it actually is. There’s actually a Dodge Demon I’ve seen around town that was black but the guy had it wrapped in Matte Olive and it looks sick.

But to keep the thread on topic...here’s what I have on the way. JNC014 17x9.25 in Hyper Black Chrome [emoji51]

what sizes did you have them ordered im looking at some now would love some help
:banana:

17x9.25 but it’s the only option for offset that got me. I was hoping that it would be close and not rub but oh well. I’ve got 5mm spacers on the way to see if it’s going to be enough to clear everything in the back. If it’s not enough I’ll be buying longer studs and thicker spacers unfortunately. I’m not a fan of spacers but I got ballsy with the 9.25” wide wheels and shot myself in the foot lol. Live and learn I guess.

true that i might just order myself some.
what is the bolt patern that yo went for on those ?

I see they also sell them in a 17x8.25. Knowing what you know now, do you think that size would work without spacers?

I’ve been thinking about wheels but nothing too radical.

Also interested in bolt pattern.

Thanks!!

17x8.25 will work without spacers. That bolt pattern is 5x105 for the Sonics. I went this wide for two reasons. #1 - these cars just look good with an aggressive stance and #2 - have you ever driven these cars on a wet road when it’s raining? It’s god-awful with these slim tires so I’m hoping wider tires will help out a lot with that as we tend to get frequent heavy rains during the summer time here in GA.

Thanks for the info!

To be honest, I can’t say I’ve noticed a rain issue with the OEM-size tires. I run the original Hancooks in the summer and Goodyear Ultragrips in winter (the Hancooks are horrible in snow/ice, which may not be an issue in GA!).

When I had OEM wheels and tires near the end of their life I noticed very bad rain control. My new RE71-R hydroplane less than those Hankooks did and these are basically slicks.

Good point, my Hankooks have very little wear since 1/2 my mileage has been on snows. I’ll be replacing the Hankooks at some point. (The Ultragrip snow tires are excellent in rain/snow.)

Been thinking that instead of just replacing the Hankooks I’d get new wheels+tires for summer use and keep using current wheels with snows in winter...

The web site seems to list 5x100 but not 5x105. Were you able to get them in 5x105? Thanks.

Ya, I just did this myself.

Running Nokian Hakka R3 195/65R15 winter (liking them so far and did great this past winter) on my stock 15x6 wheels and FastWheels Hayaku 17x8 with Federal SS-595 235/45R17 93V for summer. Probly one of the best things i did.

If you email or call them they’ll redrill whichever wheels you want for a $100 extra charge.

Btw my clearance issues are resolved with a 5mm spacer on front and back. I’ve got some 235/40 tires on the way. Should get them in early next week.

What was your offset?

+32 it was the only option they offer in 17x9.25

Tires were finally delivered to my local Discount Tire yesterday so of course I went there immediately after work. They look good and no fitment issues with 5mm spacers AT ALL. Also, no more than 45 mins after having them mounted I went through a torrential downpour on the interstate and not once did the traction control light flicker on. So not only do they look great, but they are definitely better for grip being a little wider than stock.

What brand/size tires? (Sorry if you said already I didn’t spot it.). Looking good.

Tires are 235/40R17 on my 9.25” wide wheels. It’s the smallest tire Discount Tire would mount on my wheels. The brand is Nankang but I can’t remember the specific name of the tire so I’ll look when I get off work. Discount Tire doesn’t have a lot of options for 235/40 tires so it was either Nankang or Nitto NT01 or NT05 which are both pretty much drag radials that wouldn’t last long on a daily driver.
I had Nankangs once on my Cobalt and they’re a good tire. Made in Thailand instead of China so it’s whatever. A good tire is a good tire.

If going with 20mm spacer which brings it to 22mm should still clear?

OK, so I have a craving for these!

From Here: https://www.socalcustomwheels.com/fc04-titanium-5-lug-w-24253.htm

I understand 'Hubcentric', so how do people get wheels with a large center hole to work correctly (read, safely), manufacture a ring to mate inside(hub outside) and outside (Wheel inside) to center the wheel?

...or am I overthinking it?

You're probably overthinking it. Hubcentric isnt recesarilly a requirement. Only time I would really worry about it is if you were doing something like autocross or rally.
