Looking for a set of smaller diameter and wide width wheels with a 5x110 pattern. this is for a challenge build so the absolute cheapest the better. preferably a 15x10 wheel, but will consider other sizes. stock solstice wheels are 18x8. not terrible, but not ideal. would like to cram as much tire under it as possible.
im located in central florida for reference. so a florida deal is preferred. thanks in advance!
5x110 sucks balls. Not much out there, and IIRC from my searches for upgrading the Saab, there are some 17x7.5 (maybe Saturn Astra or Pontiac G5?) but nothing wider except for the Solstice.

Yes, it does suck lol. i have considered taking the hubs off and re drilling them to 5x114 which may be my only option at the point to open the door to a million different options.
As AngryCorvair mentioned, Saab wheels are out there. Other options are the HHR and the Cobalt SS, but I don't think those are going to help with width.
Iirc turbo dodge wheels are 5x110

If you're going to drill think about 5x5 , and look for circle track wheels. They're usually easy to find cheap and in several different offsets.
Edit: Have you test fit a 15" wheel over the front brakes to be sure it works?
In reply to DeadSkunk (Warren) :
I have not. everything is pure speculation at this point. but even a 17 would work better.
I'd be very inclined to drill to 4.5 or 4.75. 4.75 opens you up to 17x9.5 c4 wheels

I didn't want to be the first to say SAWBLADE ALL THE THINGS!
plus, late C4 sawblades are 9.5" +56, so there's enough room for a 1" adapter on almost any car ever made.
A 15X7 would get take a 245 width. How wide are you wanting to go?

And they can be picked up for $100-150 all day long

The 5x4.5 size isn't much better for wheel availability. You got 15 x 8 jeep wheels is about the widest you will find.
Not many cars use a 5 x 4.5 AND 15inch AND wide.

But that's the mustang bolt pattern and they have hundreds of options!

Not in wide 15s from factory. I'm pretty sure the widest Mustang 15 is a 15 x 7.
If you want 17s or 18s, yep.
same, but I'm in pennsylvania
15s clear the front brakes? I thought I recall reading that even 17s might foul the control arms in the rear at droop unless you're running gnarly offset. I'd also probably look at 5x112 and wobble bolts. 110 selection sucks. About the only thing wider and pattern correct is modern Alfa. You mightttt be able to find like, rear Giulia wheels or something like that. I think its a 19x9.
