Will new 2007 sedan wheels fit on 2003 sedan?

Hello,

I really like the stock 2007 wheels and think they would look good on my 2003 sedan but I want to make sure these will fit.

I'm looking at the 17" Wheels - double 5 spoke alloys (2007 Sedan)
- Front & Rear - 7.5" x 17" with 45mm offset.

Thanks

that would be a direct fitment. same size and offset exactly. now, the question, are you really sure about this "upgrade" - that's a different story altogether.

?

Actually, I thought the offset on the stock, 6 spoke light grey wheels from my 03 was more like +30, not +45. I could be wrong but that was my understanding.

Have you seen the new wheels compared to what I have? I think they look much, much better.

Yes they are both 17's. Not a big deal to me, I drive 25k miles per year on the highway and 17's are a little more comfortable. Plus I have new 17" Toyo's I can put on them.

Seems like a nice upgrade in appearance to me.

Someone please help.

I need to validate that the new 2007 17 in wheels with the +45 offset will work on a 2003.5 sedan.

Thanks!!!!

They will fit the center bore are the same and the offsets work just fine even if it isn't the same offset as your 03.5 the +45 will fit with no problems you can even use the same lug nuts.

ok!!! Thank you all for your help.

I ordered them off eBay and I should have them on the car in the next week. I'll take a couple of pictures.

Yes I am positive they will fit fine, I know the 17s are the same offset as the 04/05/06 sedan. You must use the new lug nuts that come with the 07 model, they are different and incorporate a washer in them, the old lug nuts will not work properly with these wheels.

Thanks! It's a little different. Not as flashy as a 4 inch chrome lip would be but I wear suits most days so....

I like the little lip I picked up on eBay too. They painted it for me and all for about $75.
