Man, you're kinda asking stupid questions.

Our hubs are 4x100. If your rim supports that, it will fit.

Yes they'll fit just fine. Just remember thought that if you want low pro tires for it don't spend high dollars on them. Get 1 size smaller tires. Example: if you want 17 inch rims get 16 inch tires. Yea they might be real hard to get on but you'll save a ton of money

I think what you're looking at is a wheel with universal 4 lug pattern. One set of holes is 4x100mm the other 4 holes are 114.3mm spacing. These are the two most common 4 lug patterns and so that wheel is made to fit 99% of the 4 lug cars in the world.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Um guys I went to pick a part ad found 4 tires with better tread than my current ones but when I got home I found out they were 14" not 15" I have all four and all have honeycomb rims if i put them on my car which currently has 15" tires does it affect anything?

The overall diameter is the biggest potential change I can think of. If the tires have a wider sidewall, they should be close enough to warrant keeping.

If they are too different, I recommend you return them if possible. Unless they were cheap, then you can always run them for winter tires or just use them until you can find the right tires for you. Depends on your preference really!

In future though, measure twice before purchasing/modifying/risking anything. It will save you LOADS of time, money, and frustration. I can't count the number of times I've "eyeballed" something and had to re-do it because my eyeballs weren't linked properly with my judgement.

Don't let people get you down, just roll with the jokes. Soon enough you'll be laughing with them, looking back at your own mistakes. I do when I read my old posts, and some of my current ones.

Best tips though, RESEARCH everything before making any kind of commitment to it.

The search feature on the forums is very helpful, but is most effective if you fine-tune the search. Use the proper keywords, but filter out words that aren't helpful. That will save you a lot of time, and spare you from being constantly reminded to search.

Enjoy =)

Edit: If the search feature isn't yielding good results... google the same keywords. Throw in mx-3.com, and it WILL point you towards the forums. Likely some buried archive that will contain a plethora of applicable information on your topic of choice.
