    I was wondering what other car rims would fit on my grand prix? Is there some place I could find a list of rims that will fit my grand prix? Im wondering if '99 and newer grand am, alero, etc rims will fit? I have heard that mustang/crown vic rims will fit even though the bolt pattern size is different. Thanks.

    Anything with a 115x5 bolt pattern fits. Anything with a 114.3x5 bolt pattern will work. Pretty sure Grand Am's have the 115x5 pattern, so they should fit, but there were never any good looking wheels on those cars.
    As far as swapping, there are a few good options such as the pre-gen wheels from older w-body grand prix's, the wheels off the Grand Prix GXP or Comp-G, or rims from the Bonneville GXP. All of them will fit, all of them will look decent on a 97-03 Grand Prix.

    I was thinking about the six spoke rims off of an alero. Or the six spoke rims off of a regal gs. I work at an ford dealership and sometimes if I ask, they will let me swap my rims for rims on something they are going to wholesale. I just want to know what cars will have rims that will work on my grand prix. Right now I have the ugly snowflake style rims. And the tires are junk. Thanks for the info.

    I've seen regal rims on GPs and it's kind of gross. I can't imagine Alero rims looking any better. I'd look at a car that you think they're going to wholesale, and look it up, try to figure out what they have for pattern and offset.

    holy crap. I can't find the answer to this question above.....As I do a search....

    Does someone have an actual answer with a list???

    I was wondering what other car rims would fit on my grand prix? Is there some place I could find a list of rims that will fit my grand prix? Im wondering if '99 and newer grand am, alero, etc rims will fit? I have heard that mustang/crown vic rims will fit even though the boltpattern size is different. Thanks.

    yes, I understand anything with a 5 x 115 or 5 x 114.3 will fit. but what other vehicles have this?
    grand prix - check!
    mustang - check!
    bonneville?
    malibu?
    any cadillac?
    lucerne?
    any buick?

    Thanks...........everytime I search in here...I run into another post that says "do a search" or refer to tire rack which I went to and didn't find what I needed. We are looking at an 08 grand prix but it has hubcaps..........

    Just few that i know of off the top of my head:

    Acura TSX

    Chrysler Concord/Intrepid
    Dodge Caravan
    Ford Mustang

    Honda Accord, S2000, CRV, Civic
    Hyundai Tiburon
    Infinity G35
    Mazda 3, RX8
    Mitsubishi Diamante ('99+), 2G Eclipse, 3000GT
    Eagle talon 1990-98 Base, ESI, TSI Models

    Nissan 300ZX, 350Z, Altima, Maxima, Quest, 240sx
    Toyota Camry, Avalon
    Lexus ES300, ES330, IS250, IS350, GS300, GS400, LX470
    08+ Scion xB

    Any rim that has a 5x114.3 OR 5x115 Bolt pattern WILL fit.

    But remember the offset and Hub Bore..

    Google is your friend. Think of a year make model, and google the rim specs...

    there are near endless choices of stock wheels in 5 x 115 and 5 x 114.3 that will bolt up, just be sure to check back spacing

    and hub bore size, which is more important than the backspacing/offset.

    ^^^ Indeed it is , it also sucks when the wheel DOES fit though, but bottoms out into your brake caliper or hits somewhere into the suspension...

    GA rims will fit a GP. I have been using my old GA Premium Chrome Rims (since the tires were new just before the car was wrote off), i kept them and put them on my GP. Note: I did have some clearance issues with the front calipers, but you can either shave the rims or use Shims. Also, you will need to compensate for any difference in rim/sidewall size. Example: GA = 225/50/16, GP = 225/55/17. If you don't, it will throw off the speedometer, handling, tire wear. Once the tires wear out, i'll be switching to 225/65/16.
