Like the title says. 15" mounted tires from a Dodge Neon. Good idea?

If I remember correctly the 5 lug on the second gen Neon's were 5x100, the first gen was 4 lug.

Correct

Thanks guys

I'm not sure of the hub size or offset, but if the wheels your talking about are the ones I'm thinking of I have looked for them on KSL classifieds out here to try out on my Fiero. I'd really be interested in if anyone out there has tried out Neon rims also.

I'm pretty sure that Neon wheels will fit on a Fiero.
I have seen a Neon with 15" GT lace wheels on it. Looked good!

The Neon centerbore is also appropriate ( 57.1 mm ). Should fit like a glove over the Fiero hub.

Sweet, I will continue to keep a look out for some on the classifieds out here.

Been posted on fieros here before do a search.

and by the way, the turbo dodge cars share this as well. so all the 5-lug 80's and early 90s 2.2 and 2.5 dodge cars. You might be able to find someone listing something for a turbo shadow or dodge daytona (daytona had 16 inchers in 90 and up though) jsut keep in mind that daytonas had wider wheels than the others/fieros

Well, I searched "Neon" in Tech, Gen, Arch Tech and Arch gen. All I found was this car with 14" wheels from a Neon.



Considering this topic was about the 15" wheels, maybe you could direct me to this "post" you mention since I am not able to find it.

The 15" rims I am curious about would be either of these 2 styles.




Preferably the first.

according to tirerack.com a 2004 neon srt4 is 5x100 bolt pattern so the first pictured wheel should work cause those are srt4 rims

YES, they will fit. NO, I don't think it is a good idea to use them.

As has been mentioned, except for the earliest Neon which was 4x100 bolt pattern, all Neons including the SRT-4 are 5x100. Center bore is correct. Most of the earlier 2.2-2.5 FWD Dodge products also have same 5x100 (except early N.A. models which are 4x100) .

Having said that, with a couple exceptions, I don't think they are a good option for the Fiero because most of them are only 6" wide and have higher positive offset (usually 40mm). There are a couple 6.5" wide Shelby Dodge wheels; e.g. 87 Shelby Lancer and similar vintage Daytona "crab" wheels. For a good example of the Shelby Dodge wheels, see: http://www.dempseybowling.com/shelby/wheel101.htm (Be sure to note the difference between the Daytona and Shadow crab wheels.)

The only Dodge wheel I might consider are thosel used on the Neon SRT-4 ACR. They are 16"x7" with 5x100 and +40mm offset; made by BBS. However at 19+ lbs. each they are not light, and given the limited number of SRT-4 ACR's they are somewhat rare and thus, more expensive. See: http://forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?t=312159

From what I have seen, the more common swap uses the 15"x7" Fiero Lace wheel on a Neon. We use them on our LeMons race car. See:
http://forums.neons.org/vie...8&hilit=Fiero+wheels

I have also seen a number of Shelby Dodge owners who have switched to the same Fiero Lace wheels.

PT Cruiser and Sebring (convertible ONLY) wheels fit fine too.

Actually, I bought a set of 4 with Arctic snows mounted. They are pitted some but the snows are next to new. The donor car was T-boned so the owner didn't need the snows. They apparently got 2 weeks of use.

They are similar to the second pic.

Could you mount them up and post a few picks? Curious if they stick out to far or not far enough, etc.

You'll have to wait a few months. Snows go on in November

I can be patient .
