Steel wheels from last car - probably won't fit?

[brad_r]

Hey guys... I think the answer is pretty obvious, but I thought I'd throw it out there to those who know a bit more about this stuff:

My old steel wheel from my last car (05 Saab 92x Aero) had a 5x100 bolt pattern and an offset of 50mm.

I'm ASSUMING these won't fit on the B200?

I'd rather know in advance so I can at least try to sell them heading into winter tire season. Luckily, my old tires are 205/55/16... so I should be fine there.

Thanks in advance.

In the B's manual:

Rims: 6J X 16 H2
Wheel offset: 46 mm (1.8 in)

Your old rims may fit - as far as the bolt pattern is concerned, but your tires may rub. If it does fit, make sure your old rims are also hub centric.

Your old tires are good to go with the B, though.

Thanks Martman.

What's the "6J" represent, and the "H2"?

And what did you mean by "Hub centric"?

From "Honest John" on the web

Quote "The the 6 defines the width (in inches) and the J defines the shape of the cross section of the wheel rim - the area where the tyre sits. It does not define the PCD of the bolt holes, wheel offset or anything else, so you can't assume another 6J wheel will fit. J is one of the most common sections,but there are others.

This seems to answer the question quite well

H2 appears to mean double hump (see link below)
