82 Vette Wheels fit Regals???

[V6UnderPressure]

More of a curiosity thing. Does anyone know if these would fit? The reason I ask, is that I believe these are aluminum and they actually somewhat resemble the GN wheels. I'm not sure the backspacing, but if they would fit, all we would need is a different style center cap with power 6 logo and wed be good. Anyone tried these? Wheel number 1045

I'll chime in... since I have a set of these on my MCSS

They are 15x8's, with 4-1/4" BS (I have one off and can verify tomorrow)

All of the C3 Vettes were 7/16x20 Thread on the lug nuts.

THe wheels use a mag-style shank lug nut, but a "standard mag" lug is a little too long.

I've always used Toyota Factory Mag Lug nuts, which have the correct depth for these wheels, already have a captive washer and the correct thread (12mmx1.5) for the later G-bodies.

You can also use a standard mag lug and either mill some length off the shank, or add another washer. (Once again, I prefer the Toyota lug-nuts)

This is what they look like on my MCSS:
