I've been searching through the forums to find info on this, and it's cleared up a lot, but I'm still trying to figure out a few little details that will make or break a purchase.
I'm trying to switch from steel wheels on a '99 sedan 4-cyl to rims. I found some 4x114.3's on Craigslist with a 17" diameter and a 38mm offset. Tires are included, mounted and balanced. I saw that if you do a 4 lug to 5 lug swap you need to change out some brake components. Is the same true of switching from steel wheels to rims? It seems like some cars can take the proper-sized wheel directly, while others require some adjustments. What's the case with our's?
I guess I can read on the forums all day, but I'll never pull the trigger on a major purchase unless I hear the answer to my question specifically. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
