I think you will find it difficult to get the wobble nuts in the viva imperial thread size, but supposing that you can find some, and leaving aside the fact that wobble nuts are never ideal, then theoretically they should work, It's a problem that many viva owners suffer, but I have not heard it solved with wobble nuts, I did consider removing the origonal studs, fileing the holes in the discs and mounts nearer to 100mm centres and of course the drumsas well, then re drilling to fit a m12 vw stud at 100 centres, Ian |

The trouble is locating the wheel - I don't know whether Vivas are hub-centric or stud-centric.
If they are hub-centric, then yes, there's no reason you can't use wobble bolts (as said, if you can find them in imperial) - provided that your new wheels locate on the hub. You might need to have some spigot rings made up.
If they are stud-centric, wobble bolts are NOT a good idea, as there's then no way of centering the wheel on the hub - by their very deisng wobble bolts won't do so.

I'd say stick with what you've got at present, save up the pennies and have the Rostyles banded at a later date when you can afford.

don't forget you can fit BL mini aftermarket wheels without any problems on the studs

Atmo V8 Power . No slicks , No gas + No bits missing . Doing it in style.
Austin A35van, very different------- but still doing it in style, going to be a funmoble

They are hub centric Most go with 13 inch mini wheels, if you want to use bigger wheels, then you need to get friendly with a local machine shop, |

I believe that Chevette front hubs are interchangeable giving you 100 x 4,not sure if half-shafts are same though .
