Looking for some 15" 5x114.3 wheels to potentially mount some cheap snow tires to. What vehicles had this size from the factory? I know some Kia/Hyundais and Mazdas did, but I'm not having much luck looking for those. Local yards are asking a ton for these (oddly). Was hoping to grab something <$50/corner
Older Jeeps (they'll often be listed as 5x4.5, but 4.5 = 114.3). Any 98 and older Grand Cherokee, 01 and older Cherokee, 1st gen Liberty (not sure about the second gen), 06 and older Wranglers. Some had 16s, but there are tons of 15s out there. Most of the 15s are 15x7, but there are a few styles in 15x8. They're all fairly low offset if that's a concern.

Hmm good call. The offset is going to be way too low for these. This would be going to my Kia and possible a future Mazda 3 I may acquire, so both are around 50mm

Yeah, rule the Jeep wheels out in that case. Most are in the 10 - 20mm offset range.

The bolt pattern matches older Rangers, Mustangs, Panther chassis, 350Z/G35, some Subarus, NC Miatas, and modern 5 lug Hondas (CRV, etc) too.
Chrysler 300/Charger/Magnum are 5x115 I'm pretty sure.
hmm I'll check rangers, but the rest of those never came with 15" diameter wheels, right?

In reply to ProDarwin :
Older Panthers had 15" diameter, as did the Rangers for sure. 02-ish CRVs too, maybe other years. Offsets will be the most likely hurdle with older wheels.
Explorers too. 90s Explorers offered 15s, but not sure about offsets. They went to higher offsets after 2003, but not sure if they were still 15" at that point.
ranger and panther have very low offset.
CRV is actually almost spot on, but the hub bore is too small :(
Might just be too much trouble to get to 15" tires on this unless they are basically free
In reply to ProDarwin :
Mustangs from 15 years ago had 15" rims. Just watch because they came in 4 and 5 lug patterns.
5 lug (4 cylinder) Tacoma's have a some options in 15x6. I just picked up a set of these for free. Offset seems pretty high.
....almost everything 5 lug, including Fords and Chryslers going back to the 60s and such. (114.3mm is 4 1/2")

Almost all Fox body Mustangs were 4 lug - I think the SVO is the only exception. The SN95 and later are 5 lug.
01-07 Grand Caravans could come with 15x6..5 5x4.5, 71.6 hub, ET40.
A bunch of Toyota's - Camry for a long time, some colrolla's I think.
I use this site to look for wheels........Bolt Pattern Cross Reference - What Wheels Fit? - Roadkill Customs
It's handy for figuring bore sizes ,too. There's a long list of 4.5"bolt circles.
Edit: Oops, the same one 914Driver posted.

I'm not sure if your still in NC, but it looks like steelies for a 2011 Elantra GLS are in the $25-$50 range on car-part.com

Excellent, thanks. A set popped up fairly close for $25/ea from a '07 Elantra
Mazda FC RX7 ran that size
GM FWD W-bodies. So your 97-03 Pontiac Grand Prix, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and Buick Regal. 16s were really common, 15s were on the base models. High offset. They are technically 5x115, but with the way 5 lugs are measured (outside of a lug to center of another) means they are only 0.35mm different, which is why the hub manufacturers (Timken, etc) call the hubs 5x114.3.
Here's a list. Tons of them. FWD, RWD, AWD, you name it. zero offset, positive offset, all of the above.
Most 5-lug trailers are 5x4.5, but resist the temptation. Trailer wheels are designed for weight, not torque. Braking torque and acceleration torque can be a no-no on many trailer wheels. They also might not like the side loads from cornering
In reply to kevinatfms :
4x4 1/4
The Mark VII might have been 5x4.5.
