Key Specifications:
Bolt Pattern (5x100): The 5x100 bolt pattern is common in many compact cars, small sedans, and crossovers, especially from Japanese and European manufacturers.
Wheel Size (17x8): The 17-inch diameter and 8-inch width provide a good balance of performance and comfort, fitting well on vehicles that require a slightly wider stance without going too large.
Offset (ET 25mm): The ET 25mm offset means the wheel will protrude a bit outward compared to the centerline of the vehicle. This is a more aggressive offset, which provides a sportier look and stance but can affect the fitment, particularly for vehicles with stock fenders or suspension components.
Center Bore (CB 73.1): The 73.1mm center bore is typical for many vehicles, especially European and Japanese brands. If your vehicle has a different center bore size, hub rings can be used to adapt the wheel.
Compatible Vehicles:
This wheel is compatible with vehicles that use the 5x100 bolt pattern, commonly found in compact cars and small SUVs. Below are some of the vehicles that are compatible with these specifications:
Vehicles with 5x100 Bolt Pattern:
Subaru Impreza (most models from 1990s to present)
Subaru WRX (early models, up to the 2014 WRX)
Volkswagen Golf (especially Mk4 and Mk5 models)
Volkswagen Jetta (early models, particularly Mk4 and Mk5)
Audi A3 (early models, especially 2000s)
Toyota Corolla (some older models, especially 1990s to 2000s)
Toyota Matrix (some 2000s to 2010s models)
Mitsubishi Lancer (older models, especially 1990s to early 2000s)
Mazda3 (early models, particularly 2000s to early 2010s)
Mini Cooper (older 2000s models)
Honda Civic (some older 1990s to early 2000s models)
Honda Fit (some models)
Other Compatible Vehicles:
Hyundai Elantra (some older models)
Kia Soul (some older models)
Ford Focus (older 2000s to early 2010s models)
Other Considerations:
Offset (ET 25mm): The ET 25mm offset means the wheel will extend further outward compared to the stock wheel, giving your car a more aggressive look. This may require modifications to the wheel wells (such as fender rolling) or adjustments to the suspension to prevent rubbing, especially on lowered cars.
Brake Clearance: The wheel's size and offset should be checked to ensure they do not interfere with the brake components, especially if your vehicle has upgraded or larger brakes.
Center Bore (CB 73.1): The 73.1mm center bore fits many vehicles, especially from Toyota, Subaru, and Volkswagen. If your vehicle’s hub diameter is different, you can use hub-centric rings to ensure a secure and vibration-free fit.
Tire Fitment: The 17x8 wheel size is suitable for a wide range of tire sizes, typically 205/50R17 to 225/45R17. Make sure to choose the appropriate tire size based on your vehicle’s specifications and intended use.
