Hey guys -thanks for the advice here.

I can't believe I've finally got the ball rolling after 3 years of waiting.

I want to junk the junk wheels and rims that came from my junk yard Pulse.

I have found the tires (155sr13's) but am in doubt about replacement rims.

What is the real offset and bolt pattern (in millimeters?) that I can consider?
I need to know rigt away as I am on the road now.

Ok, I did a bit more research, so here's some updates on the wheel/rim used on most Pulses.

Name - Horizon,Omni

Year - 79 - 90

OE size - 13x5

Bolt - 4x100

Lug Nut - 12mmx1.5

CB (center bore) - 57.1

Offset - +40


This spec is also found on the Chevette and Audi Fox 76-84

The 88-93 Pontiac Lemans matches this spec except the wheel width is 5.5 instead of 5.0. So it may fit, depending on your shock/tire clearance.

I'm in the process of verifying this info, by finding some of these vehicles. I also noticed that with the original tire/wheel/and hub, that the distance between the tire and springs is not equal on both sides. This means that the wheel mounting plate on the hub was off by about 1/4 inch when first designed, but never fixed. If anyone gets a chance, try making this measurement and see if my evaluation holds on other Pulses.

I see that front & rear tires are same --
are front and rear rims interchangeable as well?
THANKS!

the dodge OMNI are the correct wheels for both the litestar as well
(in case anyone else wants to know) i had mine off to replace the tires (dryrot) and the tire man knew right off what they were from, later that day I went to the local yard and found another pair from another Omni in better shape and had the tires remounted on them (another pair of tires)
so now i have two sets of tires performance tires and white walls..LOL

and yes they are interchangable..

the outrigger tires ..I keep a spare mounted to the inside plywood rollbar in the back just over the engine.. which i found handy..
