They will "fit", as well as any aftermarket wheels ever do, which isn't very well. However the fronts will rub on the inside, on the sway bar and/or the inside of the wheel well at the back.

They have those damn "Unilugs", which fit a variety of bolt circles; in this case, looks like the F*rd pattern and the GM pattern. Pretty typical.

I bet you're getting them real cheeeep too, eh?

Well it won't be long before you figure out why the PO wants those POSs as far away from his car as he can get them.

At least they're not as bad as "Roto Lugs", if anybody remembers those; but still a far cry from being as good as a hub-centric acorn nut design, like a factory wheel.

well actually I found them on ebay for a very resonable price (shipped) so I thought I may put a bid on them, but they are taken off a 1979 camaro...?

which is why I was asking.. however I'll just save up and buy new rims from a retailer so I get them correct, which will have the best fit. seems like 9 or 9.5 inch wide 18 inch rims are the most popular size on these boards?
