I am looking for a set of winter wheels to use for my 04 Sportback LS. I found a set of the O-Z wheels on Ebay, but the seller stated that they didn't fit his 03 LS. Since my Sportback LS is basically the same, I figured they won't fit my car either?

Sooo.....What is different between the LS cars and the base, ES and OZ cars, other then obvious things like options? I have been looking at some things on Ebay, like upgraded rotors and many say "Will not fit LS models"

 

ES and LS have 4x100 bolt pattern

OZ has 114x100 bolt pattern.

thus won't fit.

 

The LS and OZ ('02 and '03 at least) use the same 114.3x4 pattern and, actually, the same exact everything. The only difference is the LS' ABS. I can't remember whether they're available or standard, but they are not an option on the OZ. What's the lug pattern on the Sportback? We don't have NEARLY enough Sportback owners on this site. I love the *** on those things.

 

yeah, what gives? I was under the impression that the OZ and LS shared the same bolt pattern. Karlen showed me that. Maybe they changed that for the '04 + years. Main thing is, find out your bolt pattern, and make sure that's on the rims you buy.
