You might be able to. But you shouldn't because it'd be very dangerous.

I ran 4x110 wheels on my Escort, they were from an early Corolla Sprinter, KE25. Those wheels are still on that car and haven't had any issues yet, that's 5 years at least. It depends a lot on the wheel style though.

no way, I wouldn't! unless you have an amazing fantasy in which you are overtaken by one of your own wheels shortly followed by a crash IMO, of course |

see thats the thing i've heard of lots of 4x98/100 crossover, 101.4 is less of a gap... it would be on studs, perhaps a little 'hole widening' would work? c'mon peeps, seriosuly like...  |

Physically they might fit. From an engineering perspective its a big N - O.

plenty of meat to redrill them though - depending on what the backs are like.

Are they magnisium?
Isn't that prone to cracking?
I'd say no anyway.

Please don't do it, i unknowingly did it the other way and ended up snapping the wheel studs and losing a wheel on a corner. It's just not worth it  |

Its totaly possible and can be perfectly safe if you do it properly. This is another subject where people like to preach about how 'unsafe' it is without having a clue what they are talking about I'm afrade.
You cant just go bolting them on but with a little bit of thought or modification its not too hard to get them on there.
If they use taperd seats use wobble nuts or get them re-drilled. don't under any circumstances try to stretch it with normal nuts!
If they use sleeve nuts then the holes might need elongating slightly depending on the clerance they have allowed between bolt and hole.

Slater, I agree with everything you say but I think problems could come from everyone saying "hell yes, its fine" and then some gullible soul tells their mate that they read it on the internet so it must be alright. Better to urge caution and suggest proper methods. |
