JBC2005 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Good morning, all! I'm currently rebuilding my 94 Grand Prix, and would to upgrade my wheels. Can I use rims from 97-03 on my car? Thanks Quote
Breakdown Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Short answer - no. If you put them on they won't clear the brake calipers, if you put regular spacers in they will, but your lugs won't turn enough times to be safe. Adapters? I wouldn't recommend personally. Since most (all) are designed 4.5-4.5 for offset you're going in .7mm and then out .7mm severely increased opportunity for wheel-wabble. That's just my opinion, I believe that others here have done it and said they are fine. Quote

AL Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 Not to bump an old thread but the 2nd gen wheels DO fit on the car... You will need to buy longer studs which for me, i bought 20 for 20 bucks at NAPA. I also had to use a spacer in the front which came with the rims when I bought them... If you plan on doing your own work, you will need to take off the hub by removing the four bolts holding it on... They are a bitch to get to... I think you would be better off paying a shop to do it as they have the tools and the know how. It took me 4 1/2 hours to replace just the fronts with longer studs... But my car was so rusty that the studs and bolts holding the hub broke. But I babied the car home. Without the spacers on the rear, the wheel is really hidden. At least with the B4U it is. Quote
