Monza Spare Tire Rim Substitute for Stock Rim?

Postby kline1 » Tue Jul 04, 2006 2:46 pm

Other than the extra plug, can you use the spare tire rim as a regular stock rim. Stock Rims seem to be difficult to find where as the spare tires are more plentiful.

Darrin, are you referring to a space saver rim or a standard full size spare? I believe the space savers are narrower, the fullsize spare uses the same rim, at least on my 75. I have my stock rims that use the hubcap if you're interested. Shipping would be a killer though.

Those just standard Vega style rims? Are they hard to come by?


Just wondering cause I know I have a spare set sitting around. Is there a difference between the Monza/Vega wheels?

I know the vega and Monza have the same 4x4 bolt pattern, I am not sure if there is any sutle differences between the Vega and Monza stock rims. The deluxe Monza hubcaps are very unique and I think the stock rims will work...

I am looking for two standard rims, straight and the lug holes in good shape (I have seen some enlarged)

RECENT UPDATE....

I just purchased the following...


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290002752983&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AEOIBSAA%3AUS%3A31

I will just use the rims off of this car. Depending on the condition of the car, I may save her for future use or part her out.

The car has full guages (+) however it has A/C (-)

Thanks for all the info...
