Default Bolt pattern and disc size

What is the bolt pattern on non srt-4 neons?
How big of a rim can I go with out having ANY problems at all?
The car will be 1 1/2 " lower then stock by the end of the month.
What size are the front disc on the non srt-4 neons?
Is there a difference in rotor size or pattern between theES, SE, SXT, R/T, ACR?
Thanks in advance.

The Neon and SRT-4 both have the same 5x100 bolt pattern. I dont know the exactdimensions for the rotors, but the front are somewhere around 10.5"...all the Neons have the same front rotors, the only difference is the SRT-4 rotors are a little bit thicker, but they wont work on the stock Neon wheel hub because of this. The biggest rim you could go with on stock suspension is probably 18x7.5 with 35 series tires (just barely and you'll probably have some rubbing on the strut perch)...your best bet for performance on stock struts will be a good 17x7 with some 215-40-17 tires.

Well 17 x 7.5" is a good bet too as long as the offset is around 35mm or so... that's what I just threw on my '04 SXT, and I still have about 5/8" clearance with the struts, but it brought the edge of the rim to the fender-wells, nice and flush with the side of the car (with the 205/40/17's on them for those who are curious). Made a great difference in appearance and handling with no fitment problems whatsoever.

5x100 .. 16's would be safe. I wouldn't pass 17" if you're dropping it though.

i dropped mine about 1.4" and i had 18" rims on which are actually forsale on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...27149&rd=1

when i had them on the ride was kinda rough if the road was bumpy but the car handled very well, and there was a good 2" or so around the wheel..... so it was all good
