Tires: wheels, chrysler concorde, vibration problems


Question
QUESTION: Hi Barry, I have a 02 Chrysler Concorde with a bolt pattern 5 x 114.3.  How can i put wheel on it that area 5 x 115? thanks in advance Darwin
ANSWER: Darwin,

No.

That silly 0.7 mm means the conical seats on the lug nuts will not seat properly and all that pressure will be concentrated at more or less a single point.  So either the rim will be distorted or the lug nut will come off.

QUESTION: If i put wheel adapters on it to change the bolt pattern will that affect anything?

Answer
Darwin,

In all the discussions I have seen involving adaptors, there is one thing that always comes out.  They are problematic.

Folks have reported fitment problems, vibration problems, breakage, etc.

On the whole, the best advice is to get rims that fit without adaptors or spacers.
