With custom made adapters sure. But be prepared to be ridiculed by others for putting 4-lug wheels on an American car.

Re: could i make these fit?

between buying the 4th rim and tire, plus getting 4 adapters to make them fit, you might as well just buy some rims that will fit. If you like that style. Get some replica z06 wheels off of ebay.

Any 4x100 wheel is gonna be way too narrow to be worth teh trouble. Probably at most a 16x7 wheel... smaller than stock.

I like the style, but that doesnt mean the wheel is a good choice. Just not gonna work on your car.

But then red raif put 4 lug wheels on her firebird...

Re: could i make these fit?

Converting to wheels with a different lug count is always a bad idea. Move.on
