Ok my brothers car just got wrecked but the wheels are brand new, their stock OEM ones.
My car could use some new ones.
So can tires be switched from these 2 vehicles?
2010 Hyundai Elantra Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 Center Bore: 67.1 Hardware:12x1.50 Lug Offset: 45-55mm
2000 Chevrolet Malibu Bolt Pattern: 5x115 Center Bore: 70.3 Hardware:12x1.50 Lug Offset: 34-45mm
They are both size 15.
I'm fairly ignorant to all this

Edited by: Grimpak on 13/02/2011 12:32:42 usually, the number of holes on the wheel itself doesn't matter. if both cars use the same number of bolts to screw the wheels, it's usually the screws that matter.
what matters however is the rim and tire size.
for example, both might be a 5-lug rim, but the elantra might be using a R15 205/60 tire, and the chevy could be using a R18 225/45 tire.
and those are totally different from each other, and swapping them might make the car underperform or even be dangerous.
but if they are both 15', all that matters is the tire size. some rims might not support certain tire sizes. ---

If your brother had insurance pay him out for his totalled car then you better check with them before you salvage anything.

I would talk to a tire/wheel shop. I'm not sure they'd even bolt on your car. And if they did you don't want wheels that aren't "really" sized correctly. You could end up with all kinds of problems. in the least you could sell his and buy yourself new ones that are the correct size.

If you are thinking of just swapping the wheels, no they wouldn't go straight on. Wheels with a different stud pattern and bore size to the car can be made to fit, but it would cost more than a set of new tyres. Also fitting wheels with the wrong offset won't do your handling any favours either.
Plus as previously mentioned there is the insurance issue with regards to taking bits off your brothers car.

Also fitting wheels with the wrong offset won't do your handling any favours either.
then again, aftermarket wheels usually fit on all offsets. some of them actually can have 7 holes and fit in a 5 or even 4 hole pattern, as long as you use the correct lugs.
of course that OEM wheels might be different.

65 or 60 only shows the % that corresponds to the tire height. you really need to post the other numbers that correspond to the tire with (considering it's a 15' wheel it might vary from 175mm to 205mm, altho 175mm is somewhat rare, and the most common size is 195) ---
