    What cars had 15in steel wheels?

    I'm looking for some 15 inch steel wheels for my 88 shadow ES. Anyone have any ideas what cars Dodge or others that came with 15inch steel wheels in the 5x100 bolt pattern? I know some of the smaller chevy stuff has that pattern but most of those cars have 14inch wheels.

    PT Crusers would be a safe and plentiful bet as well as early minivans and the JA and JR cars (Sebring/Stratus/Breeze sedans)

    i think almost any K car from 88+ had 5 lug steel wheels. also newer VWs do also and Chevy barettas, cavaliers and the like share the pattern with ours, not firebirds or grandprix or regals

    He is asking about 15" steel wheels.

    I saw a 92-93 daytona at my friend's junkyard that came with 15" steel wheels. I thought about picking them up at the time.

    I don't think Minivan's would be ok, they mostly came with 14's and usually, if they had 15's, they were the larger bolt pattern.

    GM wheels work but there offset is wrong, so the rim sits very close to the strut and severly limits tire selection.

    I'll have to check the yard this weekend and see what they've got in the newer dodges. Hopefully with some decent tires so I don't have to buy those also.

    15" steel wheels were available on the 93-94 Shadow ES and Plymouth Duster models as well.

    Actually I think '88 and '89 factory towing package minivans are meant to have come wth 5x100 15 inch steelies, but I've never seen one. Then they went to the 5x114.5ish or whatever.

    BTW don't pay too much, Walmart has some cheapie steelies.

    Almost every GM A Body car (IE Century, Celebrity, 6000, Ciera) has 14 inch steel wheels, and they are the biggest GM cars to get the 5x100 bolt pattern. The most common GM cars your going to see 15 inch steels on are the newer Sunfires and Cavaliers.

    Just sounded like you mis-interpreted the poster about 5 lug vs 4 lug instead of 15" vs 14"

    Older Cavaliers only had 15" aluminum's for the Z24 everything else for those were 13 or 14" alum or steel but I'm not too sure about the 95+

    I think some of the more recent Toyota's have been coming with 5x100s, but I couldn't tell you for sure what ones have 15 inch on.

    Picked up a set off a newer GTC that should work, The tires may be a little tall that are on them but couldn't go wrong for the price.
