4th gen wheels on 115mm spacing?
 

I'll start with...
"NO, I'm not trying to drive a car with these!"

I have tons of junk 4th gen wheels and they are 5 x 4.75(120.65mm) and I have my old 98 Cadillac STS which I want to keep the wheels from(to sell) but I still want to be able to roll the car onto a flatbed to junk it. I just want to know if anyone thinks I can make them fit, even if a lil drilling or a BFH is needed.

I haven't had time to get over to my garage to see how close the wheels may actually fit. I just don't have the time, or trailer anymore to junk the car myself, so once its stripped, I still need to be able to get rid of it. I figure I'll toss some junk wheels on it just to roll, it can have 2, if not maybe just one, lug nut on it for all I care.

Do you think its possible? lol, Its just 5.65mm difference... about 2/10"...

I have all the faith in the world you can make this work. I simply request pics upon delivery.

Unfortunately, I didn't have to persuade f-body wheels to fit the car. LOL.

It turned out I had 3 old trailer wheels laying around that had to get junked anyway. I think they may have been 5x4.5"(114.3mm) bolt pattern which fit the 5x115mm very closely. Then I managed to find an old temporary spare which was also 5x4.5" or so. So the car is now sitting on junk wheels. Tomorrow I'll pull the hood, fenders, doors, seats, trunk and other random parts and then off to a junkyard it can go.

Finished it off yesterday, now its really ready to go. Just gotta find a place that'll come tow it away, for free hopefully, lol.

that is now a WILD looking "car" !!


what do your neighbors say during all of this?!

No one has said anything to me about stripping cars yet. Been doing it for almost 20 years now. I do try to clean everything up and stuff doesn't sit randomly laying around overnight or the next day. Once fully gutted, I get rid of the cars as quick as possible. Doing this type of tear down is nothing compared to others in the past...

However, this will probably be one of the last cars I strip for a while. I just don't have the time, space or need for anymore junk. This car came apart since I am determined to get what I had into this car back out of it, and parting it was the only way. I had 2500 into it, and before this weekend, I had already sold 1500 in parts, so I need to make another 1000. I just sold the grille for 50 this morning. Once I reach 2500 total, all the leftover caddy parts get thrown out.

Here's how I left it that night... (kinda reminded me of a CTS-V wagon, lol. The trunk torsion arms are up)
