Wanting to upgrade my 2002 Lancer Es wheels. Found a set of the OZ rally wheels taken off the OZ rally edition. They are 15' and the ES wheels are 14' I believe. The guy says they won't fit the ES, only the LS and OZ. Is this true?

 

The OZ wheels will NOT work on the ES

 

ES has a 4X100 bolt pattern

LS, OZ have a 4X114.3 bolt pattern

 

ok, thanks, does anyone have any recommendations of some cheaper wheels that would look nice on a es?

 

Motegi and ADR make some economical and nice looking rims. MR7 is a popular choice on the Lancer.

 

You can also check out www.whalentire.com Thay have some good deals there.

 

hey American Racing has some great rims for pretty cheap. I have estrellas on mine. check out my pics under my profile if you wanna see em! good luck!

 

That is correct, the wheels cannot be used from one car to the other.

Check out Tire Rack, we have a wide variety of wheels that will fit your vehicle. Just put in the year, make, and model of your Lancer and it filters what wheels will fit. You can even see them on your car! PM me if you see something you like

One neat thing I found out about Tire Rack when I ordered my Parada Spec-2's last month was that you can get tires shipped to a local installer (approved by Tire Rack) for mounting. So if/when you order new wheels and tires you could easily order another set of tires too and ship a local installer, bring your stock steelies for for mounting and have a nice set of beater wheels for salt and bad weather. Since you don't have your location in your profile I don't even know if you HAVE winter where you are, but around here it's pretty handy to have winter tires.

 

That is correct! The Tire Rack works with over 2000 nationwide installers that can service and install the tires you purchase over the net or phone. Many of the shops will allow delivery directly to them so you dont have to transport the tires. To see a complete list of installers in your area, click on the link:

Since the es has a bolt pattern of 4x100 and cant use the oz rims that are 4x114.3 does that mean that the OZ version lancer cannot use rims with bolt patterns of 4x114.3?
