cutty Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I can get a set of steel wheels for winter for my cutlass for pretty cheap, and was wondering if the wheels from a 2005 pontiac bonneville would fit on my cutlass without any spacers. any info is welcome!

pwmin Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 i think theyre the same offset as gen 2 w's. if no one is sure, i would search on cgp. i know people have put them on theirs, specifically autogary from rmcgp and others.

digitaloutsider Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 They won't fit. They don't clear the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutty Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 well i also just found out the bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 that bolt pattern can be used, iydkta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutty Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 im not sure why they wouldnt clear the calipers, and how would i get the 5 x 114.3 wheels to fit my cutlass?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 find out the offset and that will tell you if they will hit the calipers or not. its best to use hubcentric rings, but you actually could get away without them, but its not a real good idea.

Burnout524 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 and how would i get the 5 x 114.3 wheels to fit my cutlass?? They would fit just like how a 5x115 rim would fit. The difference is so small (.7mm) that it'd work... as discussed here: http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutlsp Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 normal cutlass international wheels have a 42+ mm off set so as long as the off set is lower then 42+mm you should be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutty Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 is there anyway i can measure, so i can find out the offset of these wheels?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlsp Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I don't know but you might be better off buying steel wheels from a j/y for a w-body or alloy wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
