They're a 17", pretty sure stock size was 215/50/17. According to the site below, all Vibes are 5x100.

http://www.discountedwheelw...attern_Reference.cfm

Score!

I found some in Phoenix that are $75 each, and are supposedly in A (great) condition according to car-part.com, downside is I don't have any money for 'em

According to:
http://matrixowners.com/ind...be-gt-hub-bore-size/

the Vibe's hub bore is about 54mm, and from what I can find the Fiero is ~57mm... but...

http://adaptitusa.com/referencebook.htm

that lists both cars as having the same bore size... so they may just be a direct bolt-on Since I'm currently employed at a semi-large (probably one of the largest) parts/service centers, if I get the chance I may see if I can get the next customer with a Vibe or Matrix in the same year range to let me see if the wheels would simply bolt on

And I don't think ALL Vibes are 5x100. I think the GTs were different at least.

The Vibe and Matrix are Toyota products.
Every Toyota wheel that I've ever heard of, in 5x100, needed to be bored to fit our cars. Including those.

I put celica gts wheels on my fiero a while back. Had the 5x100 and 54mm cb. Rather than bore them to 57cb i used 1/4" spacers and relied on the bolts for centering the wheels. It vibrated bad at highway speeds so i sold them rather than go through the hastle of having them bored to 57mm. Make sure the offset doesn't make them stick out or in too far for the wheel wells before you invest too much money!
