corsica bolt pattern

Recommended Posts

would rims that fit on a corsica/beretta fit on my cutlass. a friend has a 89 corsica has a set of white 5 spoke 16s he said when he sells the car we can trade rims he got them free the car was free for him to. it looks like they would fit but i want to make sure. i havent had time to take one off yet to try it. will they fit?

Dont do it. you will most likely die, no I am not just messing with you.

 

Find the rims that are sized for your car, or dont do it at all. Nuff said.

I can't believe what i am reading, don't be a fucking moron. Drill the holes bigger? While your at it take of the top 1/2 of your car for the summer and drill holes in the windshield for better speed............. Jesus

Think about this dude. You're talking about the parts of the car that:

 

A) The entire weight of the car rests on

B) Spin at very high speeds

C) when turning, two of them have lots more force than just spinning on them

D) Absorb a lot of the vibration associated with driving

 

Among much more than just those.... if one of those comes off, which is highly possible, you could be going 10mph pulling into a gas station parking lot, and worst case scenario you fuck up your suspension/underbody/strut assembly. But what if, feeling so cool that you jigger-rigged these cool new wheels, you decide you can spare ten minutes to run your 2.8 up to 80+MPH on the highway and THEN one of those rims decides it doesn't want to be a part of the group anymore? You risk severe damage and injury, at the very least.

 

Wheels are one of the few things I wouldn't ever half-ass rig on a car. And you're talking to the person that at 18 C-clamped a brake line because he couldn't get the rear caliper bolts off to replace a rotor.

i never thought of it that way so the only way they could get on the car would be is i changed the spindles (which i wont do) god fucking damnit that blows ass

would it work/be safe if i drilled the holes a little bigger? i really want these thing on the car.

 

If anything get some wheel adapters. You can get a good set of billet adapters for around 100 bux. Providing this doesn't screw up the offset this would make your wheels work.

Drilling out the wheels would be a bad idea for a number of reasons. 100 to 115 isn't a big difference but it is big enough. I have taken a set of 114 wheels and barely got them on to a 115 bolt pattern and even that was pushing it.
