So I was looking for a new set of aftermarket wheels for the GP and found some I really like. Tire rack is next to worthless trying to get any actual information so I went elsewhere to find out about them. Starting with the manufacturer's website. They are Motegi wheels, and the Motegi website says they don't come in a bolt pattern that will fit. As the dissapointment settled in I started looking for something else that would fit, and on a random site I found the same wheels. This particular wheel/tire dealer says they will fit. I am inclined to think the Motegi site would know more about their own wheels though. Thoughts?

No, the MR 116's are the ones I like.

Just for reference the 18's in my sign pic are motegi. I am sure they are 114.3 not our 115 . But the less than one mm difference don't bother me. I would be willing to guess factory tolerance is that much.


I will see what model it is that i have for sure. You can look them up and compare specs to the ones you are looking at

Love those wheels. Yes they will fit since they come in a 5x114.3 bolt pattern which will work on the GP's 5x115, but since it isn't technically correct tirerack and Motegi don't list them as fitting a GP.

QFT. 5x 114.3 or 4.5 or 115 will all work. You'll be limiting yourself if you just look for the 115 bolt pattern. Ram 114.3 and now run 4.5 now w/ any issues. BTW nice choice in wheel.

Ok so they will fit. Awesome. I will be ordering some as soon as I start making some money when I start my new job in a couple weeks.

Thanks for the help guys.
