Any wheel that will fit a honda civic will fit any Saturn. here is the specs for the wheel you'll need:

- 4 x 100 mm bolt pattern
- 50 mm offset


It's the most common sold wheel cause it's the same as a civic.

Offset refers to the position of the wheel mounting pad in relation to the vertical centerline of the wheel. The distance from the wheel mount to the inner fender in conjunctoin with the width of the wheel that you are wanting, should allow you to decide which offset you will be needing.

I can't remember what the number is exactly, but there is a hubcentric ring size too. It's something like 56.5mm.

the offset you will need will depend on the width of the rim you are going with. I have 7 inch wide rims and run a 40mm offset
