CT5 BW vs CT4 BW stock wheels

[JLayer]

I've searched and read threads and didn't see this anywhere being asked.

Can you fit the stock 5BW wheels on a 4BW? I really like the look of my stock wheels (aluminum/android finish) on my 4BW but like the look of a bigger wheel/tire. Instead of spending big $$$ on custom wheels, why not just look for a used set from a 5BW?

Is this possible or am I up a creek with this option?

5BW wheels are a bit wider iirc so they will poke out and rub a little compared to 4bw wheels. Someone correct me if I’m wrong…?

Update - I found some proof from the Facebook Group

Fronts look super tight but it looks like he's lowered. Too bad he doesn't have shots from the front or back.

Stock 5BW wheels (19x10 +20 and 19x11 +50) are perfect specs for the 4BW. The only thing is you cant use the stock front tires. They're too tall of a series and would need to go from 275/35-19 to 275/30-19s. Rears are perfect and same stock overall diameters as the stock 4BW wheels.

Look up Rick Wade in the CT4 FB groups or the Blackwing Group

I might have to find some CT5 tech bronze wheels for my 4... I think it would look amazing.

those black wheels look better on 4s than 5s me thinks...

I almost ordered the black wheels for my black 5BW but went with the aluminum ones and I love them. I think they would look awesome on that red 4BW.

flipray - so with the correct shorter front tires, no rubbing either front or rear? Even under hard driving and compressions?

Nope, it’s pretty much up par to the stock 18” overall diameter when you kick it down from 35 to 30 series.

The taller tires will rub the top of the strut.

That is great news for 4BW people who want more tire!

Now if someone could just figure out how to run 305/30/19s up front on the 5BWs . . .
