I just wanted to double check...

the 14"x5-1/5", 5x100, 40mm BS wheel will fit on my stock SXT with no problems, right.

also, what would be a reasonable price for one of these wheels?

if its 14", then any 5x100 40mm offset will fit with no prob. not sure on price not familiar with the wheel

man, i must have been tired when i posted.

im talking about the 14" steel wheel that came on some neons.

i have 14" steel wheels, what did you want to know? i dont quite get what your saying.

how much does ur wheel and tire combo weigh with those 14'' steelies?

i have no clue but they are easy to pick up

i was just making sure they fit right thats all. if you have them on your se then i bet they fit my sxt just fine.

i am probably going to pic on up and carry a full size spare around pretty soon.

so what about cost, anyone know what i should spend for one wheel.

well, def not pay $50 for a full size spare. some guy on srtforums wanted 50 for an acr fullsize spare.

they should fit properly, although you need the to run a 70 series tire (185). thats the stock recommendation for a 14" wheel.

i thought the stock rec was 185/65/14 or 175/70/14.

i did the math and the 175/70/14 is identical in height to the 185/60/15 that is on my car now.

A 14" wouldn't be a full size spare either. You have 15"

Does a full size fit in our spare well?

its a full size because the overall diameter is the correct size.

185/60/15 = 23.7" tall
175/70/14 = 23.7" tall
T125/70/14 = 20.9" tall (donut)

the donut is 3 inches too short and has a 55mph speed rating.

i assume that a full size spare fits because the SRT-4 ACR comes with a full size spare. Ill go out again in a few to mearure (diametrically) when I put my xm antenna back up.

^ I know. I was just giving you a hard time. I was thinking of doing this with both my vehicles. But the $ adds up quick with a tire and balancing (unless you already have tire).

It's good to know that one will fit.

dont you have 15"s? i know they arent 14's.

yes i do have 15" wheels, but wheel diameter doesnt matter that much so long as the overall diameter is the same.

i think PT's come with 16" wheels but their spare is on a 15" wheel. same thing with SRT-4 ACR's

My Mariner has 16" wheels, but the spare is a 17" donut

yeah, my doughnut is a 13" wheel, and I am gonna do the same thing, racer, buy a 15in steelie and slap it in the trunk on one of my old 15" michellin harmony's. I hate the idea of having to use a 13" doughnut for ANY amount of time.

it doesnt help that the contact patch from the donut is about 3 inches wide

well, I found out I can get a steelie 15 for only $5.26 w/o tire, and $17.76 with tire. I am going to go for one w/o of course, but now I have to find one. All of the steelies in the j/y for me car were 14" or 15" aluminum (19$ for alum).

Anyway, sorry for thread jacking

$5 for a wheel

i found one yard that had a wheel for $15, i pull it.

and then there was another that wanted $45 off the car.

i think ill take a few tools to the yard and pull it myself.

anyone know what other cars had 5 x 100 bolt pattern that would fit our neons?

I think cavalier did... check on like tirerack or edgeracing and do a wheel search on several cars, they will come up with bolt patterns

Although, this info would also make good info for the faq that dave is putting together!

i know the cavalier wheels wont fit. someone just tried that and they didnt work. hit the caliper.

1gn or 2gn 14" steelies will work right?

yeah, as long as they are the 5 bolt - I think some early 95's had 4 bolt pattern. But all neon steelies will work on our 2gn. I did see some cool looking white 5 spoke wheels on a white expresso that were only 18 a piece. I almost want to get them for my car and Powder coat em black or gunmetal Alas, no moolah for them right now.
