quick question on rims..

i have a chance to pick up a set of ROH alloys of CL for cheap, however i do not know the bolt pattern (according to him they are 4 lug and were on his 85 mustang... )

now i looked up that year on google and it says they are 4 x108... my question is, will they still fit my 4x110, will the 2mm make that big of a difference?

edit:

knowing omaha there probably stollen but for a set of 4 with tires in good condition minus usual curb rash for a $100 its not a bad deal...

Yes, but you may need swivel bolts or something of the like. I would not recommend them. Even for $100 I wouldn't chance my life on style.



...




Especially if they came off a rustang.

No they will not fit or be safe. Swivel bolts are also sketchy as all hell.

and i had 4x108 rims on my fb years ago....they worked, but there was always a wobble. they were not hub centric (the ones i were using off a fox body mustang)

but they did work, and never fell off.

i've heard of the "loose head bolts".....some guy i think his name is "mortenf" on these forums has em on his fb....or had

yeah you pretty much will need to use front wheel drive wheels with the huge positive offset...eg honda's usual +40 or whatever
