What wheels will fit a 5-lug FC?

Im getting an 86 parts car, and it doesnt have any wheels, so towing it may be a problem So Im going to head to the junkyard and try and find a set of wheels/tires just to put on for the ride home. Is there any car (older that like 92 preferrably, thats about all thats in my yard) with the same bolt pattern and everything. I dont care what they looks like, I just need them to roll on for a few hours..

any 5x4.5 or 5x114mm pattern will fit. The big question is the offset though -- so unless you have a width in mind, can't help you there.

Like I said, I really only need them to be able to roll on for the trailer ride home. I think DSM (talon/eclipse) wheels should fit.. ????

3 things to consider:

bolt pattern. cars that share our patterns are, among others, millenia, lexus IS, dsm, 300zx, mustang, and many others.

offset. if theyre offset wrong, the wheel can hit the brake calipers or the inner suspension, but on the rear this is not as likely.

hub centric ring diameter. most FWD's have a larger hub centric ring, which will still allow them to fit an FC, which has a smaller one. this is mainly a concern when wanting to put rwd rims on a fwd which has a larger centric ring due to having an axle sticking through it. IF a wheel has a smaller hub centric ring then the car you're putting it on, then it wont fit on the hub at all.

16x7 with 32-40mm offset is what you want at the front.

The wider the wheel, the more chance you will have of hitting the front suspension.

I would say forget about 17x9 at the front, you might get away with 17x8 at the front if the wheels have big offset (like 50mm+) or some spacers but you'll run out of wheel stud real fast with spacers.

YOU GUYS ARE MISSING IT!!! He only needs to roll it on the trailer, and roll it off when he gets home. Mustang rims fit.
