Sorry if this has been answered many times but is there an easy way to figure out the bolt pattern just by looking. A guy has a GSL for sale and says it has 4x114 pattern.

If you can tell by the wheels here is a pic. They are 2nd gen wheels but not sure if all 2nd gens had 4x114

 

only the first gens came with the 4x110. if he has 2nd gen wheels, they are definitely 4x114. the 2nd gens came with 4 lugs also but they only had the 4x114 bolt pattern. i hope this helps.

 

FC's had two different lug patterns.

BASE SE Models had the 4 lug, 4 x 114.3 lug pattern.
(Incidentally, the same as a GSL-SE)

The rest of the FC's had 5 lug, 4 x 4.5 )

 

the 84-85 gslse had the 4x114.3 pattern. if that one is a gsl, it's had the swap done. so far he hasn't lied to ya yet.

 

The Gsl-Se has the 4 X 114 bolt pattern also. Either they have put the SE suspension on or have adapters for those wheels that are on that car.

 

The pic is too crappy to tell if those are 2nd gen Phone Dial wheels or not. If they are Phone Dials then it's the same pattern as the SE. That's the first mod I did on my FC, getting rid of those damn wheels.
