PCD is 4x114.3
1986-1992 eagle summit/Dodge colt,.1991+ Geo metro,all Hyundais from 1988 up with 4 bolt wheels,Mercury Capri 1988 +, there are others but larger than 13inch...check the centre hub diameter to avoid problems and depending on offset you may need a spacer

I scored a set of 13" mag wheels from a Datsun A510 Bluebird on E-Bay which fit my Mits very well with no spacers.

Sorry, don't mean to hijack thread but was wondering if the above mentioned 13" tires will also work on a newer 2000 Mitsubishi model???

I have read that Mitsubishi started using a 4x100 pattern starting in 1999, in which case the wheels Fupabox and I mentioned would not work for you, but I think the best approach would be to measure the distance between centres of opposing bolts to be sure.

Getting the right bolt pattern is only the beginning. You have to make sure that the offset is close, and that the wheel isn't too wide for the tire or the wheel well.

If you're tempted to correct the offset using spacers, I would suggest that you price them out before you purchase any wheels. A well-made set of spacers may end up costing as much as wheels with the right offset, and may not be as safe.

Whether or not a particular tire will fit depends on it's width and aspect ratio. For example I bought a set of Pirelli Winter Carving 165/70R13 tires because they have almost exactly the same outside diameter and only slightly wider than the stock 155/80R12 tires.

Hope this helps,

I now have early 80's Toyota corolla 13" steel wheel, and they look great
