Looking at getting 18" wheels for summer for my Outtie, and I love the OEM wheels but they run around $250 a pop.

Looking at replicas of other wheels


Would these fit?

I own an 08 ES also. I went to www.tirerack.com, entered info about my Outlander and they are showing a bolt pattern of 5-114 for the vehicle. Thats what need to be looking for in replacement wheels.

 

I think 5X4.5 is 5X114 if im not mistaken, just a different measure...

its the offset and 18X8...i think OEM is 18X7

 

they don't mention an offset. I'd call that company and see if they have the offset for the rim you lined.

 

The original 16 inch wheels have a spec of
16x6.5", 5x114.3mm bolt pattern, center bore of 67.1mm and an offset of 50mm. The 18s are 18x7", 5x114.2mm bolt pattern, center bore of 67.1mm and an offset of 45mm. I would find out the offset of those wheels. you'll need it to be somewhere around 35mm to work and even then you may be rubbing on the outside of the fenders at full wheel turn or when the suspension is compressed. Also find out what the center bore is and see if you can get hub centric rings to bring them to the correct size. You'll probably also need some different lug nuts.

 

Thanks! Great Info....Im trying to get a decent set of wheels, since Im putting my snows on my 16"s this winter and keeping them on.

So that means I need 18"s for summer.... any other good rim sites? (besides tirerack)

 

If you're in Canada anywhere near a Kal tire, they have pretty good prices on wheels. Outside of that tirerack or 1010tire maybe?
