rims for a 4 lug Monza

Postby AusRs » Tue Mar 18, 2008 7:35 am

I know its been done to death BUT here is another reasonable option for someone to follow up
Chevette
http://jalopnik.com/349335/1979-chevrol ... e#c3990645
4 on 100 mm pcd and zero offset .....same as a h body ..granted they are 13 inch rims BUT you may be lucky like me and find someone who had a set of 15 inch rims ..just get them re drilled (easiest way is to have the steel inserts fitted (like the later alloy rims) which also does away with the crappy "shoulder type" lugs !

15" 4-lug ET's you are referring to?

I'll take a tudor T-1000 with a 181 Marine L-4 swap.

I HATE that "Malaise-Era" jibberish. Utterly stupid, snobbish elitism at its worst.

hey around the world mid to late 70,s cars came standard with rust !! simple statement ,we had just gone through a fuel crisis manufacturers were trying to cut costs .steel quality was crap ,just the way it was
the chevette is one of the first "world cars " shared the middle section with many countries and they all added on the front and rear sections to suit local conditions
main thing about the chevette is the 4 on 100 pcd and the offset IF you are lucky !

i have 15 inch Dragways

But referring to the 70's decade as "Malaise-era". NOT!
I don't spend much time over there at jalopnik - seem to be a bunch of snooty whiners. "Malaise-era" just doesn't sound like a gearhead term at all. Sorry.
They probably refer to the color pink as "mauve". They're sitting around talking about their Prius while sipping on their white wine and watching reruns of "Sex and the City".

I have heard that you can't use 4x100mm wheels as a substitute for a 4x4.00"(101.6mm) bolt circle pattern.

Personally, I see no reason to substitute ANOTHER 13" wheel for the stock H-Body 13" wheels. A 15" diameter 4-lug would be good. Then I can put some tires on it.
