wheel question

[scharmer05]

So I bought an 04 Bonneville for the girlfriend to get around in. Her old car was nearing the end and I got a hell of a deal on this car that was out in Boise. It seemed to be pretty well optioned and I never saw a picture of it, just knew it was in decent shape, had 65K on it, and was white and that was enough for me.

So I fly out to Boise to drive it back. When I get there, to my suprise it has hub caps on it. I was over it pretty quickly and figured I would throw a nice set of 17s on it and call it good. Well the girlfriend hates how aftermarket it is going to look with most of the rims I've found for a decent price and wants something stock on it. So I thought well I'll just go on eBay and find a set of Bonneville wheels to throw on it. Nice because I can keep the relatively new tires on it but I have a hard time justifying spending 5 or 6 hundred on used Bonneville wheels.

So here is my question. I found a set of rims off a 00 Grand Prix for about 350 shipped but I don't know if they are going to fit. Ive called a couple of local tire places and the local Pontiac dealer with no help. I searched a little online as well but found conflicting information. Anyone know if this would work?

Thanks

The ebay listing should mention the dimensions of the wheels you bought (width, offset, etc.), look on ebay listings for Bonnie wheels and see how they match up. That's what I do when I dream of wheels for my car.

I want a set of Avenger 18's....

Usually, those discount wheel/tire sites, like tire rack, or discount tire, have bolt circle and offset measurements posted for each model.

One thing I did was go to americanracing.com and put the same wheel on a Bonneville and a Grand Prix of the appropriate year. It put the same bolt pattern, 5x115, and the same offset on each vehicle as well, a +42. I found a set of Bonneville wheels that claim they are a +48, and a set of the Grand Prix wheels that are a +52. If I know my wheel numbers well enough we are talking about a difference of a centimeter here right? And only a 4 millimeter difference between the two wheels I found. I wouldn't think it would be a big deal but when the number gets higher isn't there even less room? I would hate for these wheels to get here, have them not fit, and then have to get rid of them myself.

Any wheel guys here that can help me out?

I totally read this the wrong way.
