Are you kidding? 5x110 is a very common rim within GM... All your N-bodies after 2000 used it and some before 2000 used that patter. W-bodies were 5x110.

Raid a junkyard and they'll practically give these steelies away. The downside? Most are only 15".

I could've sworn that an SS bolt pattern was 5x100, though... anyways.

doubt it I hand a 2000 alero def wasn't 5x110

Sabb's used it for ever as well as bmw's I belive
And if it was really that popular why does tire rack have like 7 rims for it cheapest being 75 dollars a piece

Pontiac Grand Prix/ TransPort
Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme/ Silhouette
Buick Regal

Also, some old school A-bodies (Celebrity/6000/ Cier/ Century) had the 5x110 wheels... those are hit or miss, big brakes or not, Canadian built or not... I went through this with my 85 Celebrity.

The ONLY car on that list that has 5x110 wheels is the NEW Malibu, the rest are all 5x100 (5x110 is actually a bolt pattern from GM Europe and is exclusive to GM...5x100 is a universal bolt pattern that is found on lots of cars from different manufacturers)

5x110 wheels can be found on:
New Malibu
Saturn L-series
G6
HHR
Solstice
Cadillac Catera
Cobalt SS/SC
Saab 9-5 and 9-3 and very select few 900s

That's all that use the pattern right now

I just got mine off ebay there 16.7 steelies off a g6. A member posted it up in the wheels and tires section and i got the guy to end the auction early for 150. cheapest rims are either in canada or of tire rack at 75 bucks a piece besides getting a good ebay deal.

Most of the bigger FWD GM's are 5x115mm the Ford 5x4.5" also works. The cobalt will accept a 5x4.5" from the info i got. Will verify on monday.

LOL, you're welcome. The Cavaliers also had the 5x100 and all the wheels he listed would fit it, that's what popped out at me.

I've got G6 wheels as well, but I got the 16" regular rims for $65/each, which is what steels were from Tire Rack back when I put in my first order.

yeah when I looked at tire rack they only had 5x110 wheels for 75 bucks a piece. I wasn't feeling that so I waited out ebay and lucked out nobody else tried to get them. Now thou got to figure out get a all season or a snow tire.

I recommend snow tires, I know some on here are running on all seasons on their SS/SC, but I'd be a little bit leary. I have Dunlop WinterSport M3s and the car LOVES them. They ride good, very little loss in performance but damn do they get you through the snow.
