These rims came off my old cts. They are the wrong bolt pattern but im debating on getting the wheel adapters to make them fit. I just want to see what other people thought before I got the wheel adapters

Better check this site to get an idea of if it will work. I personally believe wheel adaptors are dangerous and they will probably make your wheels/tires stick out too far and smash your fenders when you hit a bump. Best of luck

I agree that they are a little too big and make the car look cartoonish. Maybe if the rims were black they would look more balanced by blending in with the body. Nice shine on the car, by the way.

It would be easier to tell if you pulled off the stock wheels and set the new ones in there.......as it is they look a little too big.


BTW.....wheel adapters cause premature wheel bearing wear.

I did not have enough time to take off the stock rims and put these in. The rims are only 20s but I dont like the idea of spending 200 to make the car look like a ricer with the wheels sticking out the sides. Also the pre mature wheel bearing i couldn't deal with. Thanks for you input.

I don't mind the large wheel look but the Crossfire doesn't have a great ride to begin with. Heavy 20 inch wheels makes things much worse. I went the opposite direction and now have a lowered car that rides really nice. The ride is now about the same as a M3 bimmer.

Ok that explains why the wheels look soooooooo wide!
Kinda like the wheels imagine they would look much better bolted on!

Not sure if you guys can see it but there is black spokes between the silver. The rims are moda 255 if you guys wanted to look them up. I also checked on the tool that lantanaTX told me to use and the rims are .8 closer to the suspension so with the wheel adapters being a inch wide then the front rims will fit as long as i can be .2 inches farther out than the stock rims and tires.

I am running 20s all the way around and it is difficult to make them look right (although I hope I have achieved this). I had to use spacers and now since the wheels sit where they do, I can not lower the car. What is the exact size, backspace, and offset of these wheels.

And before you do anything, make sure to actually fit one up. I always thought with mine being 20x10 in the rear I would have problems - there is plenty of room, but up front, with that suspension nut there is none....
