Does anyone know if probe wheels will fit on a 2G N/T Eclipse? The bolt patterns are the same, but we're unsure of a difference in hub ring size. Is there a place we could looks this up? Or does anyone happen to know off-hand if they will fit? If it makes a difference, they're 14" 5x114.3 stock probe wheels.

Thanks in advance

Lots of people used to run these wheels back in the day, so they should fit no problem.

The DSM Wheel/Tire Fitment Guide specifically calls them out at fitting and having the same centerbore.

Yes, I ran them at one time. They fit no problem.

Thanks for the pic, Scott. The wheels I got looked nothing like the ones you have, though... 14" Probe "snowflake" wheels. They look really dumb, but they fit alright. I can barely fit my finger in the space between the calipers and the rim.

Ah yes, I missed that. The ones pictured above are 16x7 Probe GT wheels.

Late response here, but yeah, the snowflakes fit fine. Although since putting them on, I've noticed a lot of clunking from the rear of the car, which goes away when I apply the brakes. Not sure if it's related (I'm also still lowered 3.5", and went from a 225/35/18 wheel to a 185(or 195, I forget which)/50/14 wheel.
