steel wheel interchangability 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Crazy Brick on  Tue Oct 21 07:58 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Offsets for the FWD vs. RWD are different. I think the offsets are out close to 15mm (25mm;rwd vs. 40mm;fwd but don't quote me).

That being the case, it is up to your brother-in-law to decide if it works for his car. I think like you and would avoid the FWD rims for my RWD cars (had an opp. to buy 4 850 steel wheels for $10CDN and didn't b/c I drive RWD)

As for Walmart, I think they feel that as long as the bolts on the car fit the holes on the rim then it is ok. It is kinda like the cave man using a rock/club to bash fit a cube into a round hole.

I rant...

Tim.
