need some help

i asked for the stud pattern and offset of a set of rims. I got "10-120/114.3 38" in response and i have nfi what it means. Would these rims fit onto a protege??

You from down under? I don't even know hwat that means. Makes no sense to me so I'll let Rishie handle this one.

the 10-120 sounds like the pitch of the lug bolts. 10mm diameter, and the 120 refers to the number of threads per unit length of the stud. I can't remember exactly for metric what that unit length is. Just take those numbers when you get your new lug nuts...

the 114.3 refers to the bolt spacing of your rims. The spacing is the distance between the center of one lug bolt and the center of one of the opposite site lug bolts.

I assume you have 5 lug bolts, in which case, you have the same bolt spacing as Hondas, and most GM vehivles, but you won't match Subaru or Toyota wheels.

The 38 is your offset. That is the distance of the wheel mounting surface from the CENTER of the rim. If you look at the side of the rim, and measure the width, then divide by two, you can find the center of the rim. The offset is how many mm the MOUNTING face of the rim is pushed towards the OUTSIDE of the rim. 38mm is a pretty normal measurement for a FWD car these days. Be glad you don't have a Mazdaspeed Protege: MY rims have an offset of +55mm!!

Hope that helped.

NO, they won't fit...the offset, which is +38 mm...is WAY TO LOW.

10 = 2 different 5 lug patterns. 120/114.3 = the 2 sizes for the 2 patterns 38 = offset. and no they wont fit on a protege

the offset for your car is the same as that for the US/Canadian cars....if you will look in the stickied thread at the top of this forum about the "RECIEP" you will find all the information you need...and the answer to your question...

as for your WARRANTY question.....well, here in the US, NO aftermarket part will void your warranty.....I don't know about the laws down under.
