GnatGoSplat Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 You wouldn't by chance happen to be talking about a G-Body Regal, would you? 5x4.75 bolt pattern won't fit W-body Regals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby1870 Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 ummmm.....If I could understand all that, given its not in english, I might add something usefull. However, I thought all W-bodies had the 5X115mm bolt pattern and not the ones he mentioned. Robby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Da W-body Regalz needz da 5x115mm bolt patternz, yo! If you'z lucky yo could make da 5x4.5" boltz fit yo shiznit. Yo ain't got no chance fo' shizzle to fits dem 5x120.65mm or 5x4.75" rimz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZMonte Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 5x115 is a direct bolt on 35mm offset 5x114.3 will fit with a centric hub ring (5x4.5") the 5x4.5" is a RWD measurement. so it will have a listing for a "Backspacing" rather then an "offset". so have fun trying to match up the 2. There are a few monte's w/ dubz on them. Best to find a wheel w/ the correct bolt pattern and Offset Foe Shizzy! Save yourself headachs.... and save me some headachs and stock typing like a FUK!

RedZMonte Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 BTW, your not going to fit a 9" wide wheel on a W-Body regal. unless you run a SUPER SMALL offset which will push it past the fenders.. and WILL rub evertime you hit a bump. If you like them past the fenders you might as well get some 15" Gold 100 spoke Daytons and white walls. 8" wide is about the widest your going to get and don't plan on lowering the car.

GnatGoSplat Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Before you order, be aware that site is wrong! When you put in 1988 Buick Regal, it assumes you have a G-body. Try 1989 Buick Regal, that will give you the correct bolt pattern for W-body Regal (5x115mm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Doesn't matter, 1988 Regal has the same bolt pattern as 89-96 because it's practically the same car. Those application charts are always wrong. 5x115mm is what all GM FWD midsize get. Unless your Regal is a RWD G-body, if you order 5x120.65mm you'll be returning them and probably at your expense (shipping is lots of $$$).

I could be wrong but I have always thought all G-bodys execpt the "Cutlass Supreme Classic" and Monte Carlo were only made untill 1987. So they didn't overlap years with the Regal and Grand Prix Btw, Nice Caprice, I like how the fender skirts look on customized caprices, but I've always wanted a 94-96 9c1 or Impala SS because they have LT1's.

GnatGoSplat Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 I think you're right, but those application charts are almost always wrong. I remember Eibach and even Crutchfield used to have totally wrong info on their application charts for W-bodies. Yeah, I love those skirted Caprices (91-92). I want one pretty bad, they're practically my dream car. I'd buy one now, except that would require getting rid of the cars I have now, and I'm not willing to sell. If I did get one, I'd do an LS1 swap. 20" chromes, shaved, bagged, and jet black with limo tints. It'd be one sinister looking ride for sure.

gimp19 Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 :shock: That would be the ultimate sleeper :shock: I see alot of 91-92 Grandpa owned caprices going pretty cheap. I almost bought a mint 92 with all the options and like 70,000 miles for $2,500, but I dont have the room to own more then 1 car at a time My brothers gonna buy a 94' 9c1 from keymotorsusa.com a test drive should help hold me off. I think I'm getting alittle off subject now :yak: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlassdude96 Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 the Cutlass Classic and the MC were the only g-body cars in 88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
