How can I tell if wheels will fit? - Hyundai Performance Forums

I want to put the 5Zigen Inperio F-15s (16 or 17") on my 2000 Tiburon, since I'm going for that Maserati/Astin Martin look. How can I tell if they'll fit? If they don't, are there any kits or modifications that can be done so they will go on? I'm pretty much set on these wheels, so choosing a different pair would be kinda difficult.

you need a 4x114.3 bolt pattern and the proper offset (not sure what it is for tibs) but they should fit with no problems, i believe those rims are universal fit.

Thank you God.

The stock offset on the gen1/gen2 Tiburon is +45mm.

5Zigen Inperio F-15

SIZE OFFSET P.C.D. HOLES COLOR
1670 +43 100/ 114.3 8HM/10HM Silver, Hyper Black (Full Painted Wheel)
1770 +43 100/114.3 8HM/ 10HM
1875 +43 100/ 114.3 8HM/ 10HM

It would appear these *should* work. You may have some issues to deal with in terms of wheel/tire to suspension clearance in the rear if the Tib's suspension is at all similar to the x3 Accent.

Otherwise, these wheels are available in four and five bolt patterns, both are double drilled for 4 or 5x100 or 4/5x114.3, so that works.
The offset is a little smaller, so the wheel will sit a little further out than the stock wheels, but I believe the backspacing will be a little deeper, which is the only place I can see there being problems. If there isn't enough clearance, perhaps spacers would help, though I don't believe they are highly recommended in all cases. The 16s and 17s are both 7 inches wide.

Find out if you can order a set _just to test fit them_ with the understanding that if they don't work, you don't have to buy them.

Those are nice wheels, BTW. I see what you mean about the Aston Martin look.

I'm gonna have my Tiburon painted black and get a moonroof installed so it looks way more expensive than it is. I figure I might as well look good, since no matter what I'll always get killed racing, what with my paltry 140 horses. It's cheaper to look good than to go faster. Cause if I were to make a race car, first thing I'd do is remove all extra crap (ie seats, muffler, etc). And as the wise man says,

A car with no seats, carries no b*tches.

You think if I e-mailed 5Zigen they'd be able to tell me? They should have info on all possible applications right?

From what I can see on their website about these wheels (which I posted above), they SHOULD fit... But yeah, contacting them to ask is a good idea. See if they have an application guide or something. I know many wheels companies do.
