Tech Help Please - 1999 Q45 17" rims on a 1998t.

[bobbuzz]

Hi all,

I swear, I've done my searching, and it's still not clear.

Is the bolt pattern, offset, etc., of the 1999 17" 5 spoke q45 rim, the same as the 16" 1998 q45t?

Any help is appreciated,

Bob

I doubt there's any difference, but I'm not sure. Not much help - sorry!

Bob - The answer is yes.

Bolt 'em on!

Yes put them on! I wish I could find these rims for sale somewhere! I would love to put these on my car and get rid of the 16 whole factor rims. Man I feel like it takes about 5 mins per wheel to clean them

If buying used, make sure the wheels are the Q45 17x8 not the I30 17x7 (or 7.5??) as the fit/offset is different even though the wheels look exactly alike. I wouldn't say the I30's won't work, but aren't really worth the money.

Also not, there is/was a recall on the Q45 17" 5 spoke wheels for cracking. Please inspect them carefully/closely.

Well, that is some potentially disturbing news, reletive to the recall thing. Kind of makes me want to keep what I got.

One guy here was running 3 17x7.5 and 1 17x7.

7.5 is really a minimal width. 8-9 is better.

wow...I didn't know there was a recall on the rims. I guess I will stick with what I have too.
