No, they are the same bolt pattern as a Cobalt. I already looked into those because I was thinking they had the 5x115 like the previous Malibu, and I have the NWF and IRS swaps, but it's 5x110.

Your bolt pattern, like every other J-body, is 5x100.

heres a simple answer, if you want wheels that do not fit the 5x100mm bolt pattern you will either have to buy adapters, which they make for any freakin size and bolt pattern, or you have to have your hubs redrilled, however most machine shops will not do it as it is too much of a liability, im getting ready to put some 5x112 vw rims on my car, ill let you know how it goes, im prolly gonna redrill but adapters may work better since my rims are 51 mm backspacing, dont know yet, but they are goin on my car, im not just an idiot who bought rims that dont fit, i did it intentionally just because i liked them and have done this kinda mod before, but i do work in an autobody customs shop, we do this kinda thing all the time, so if you fall in love with a rim but it wont fit your car, make it

dont tell people things cant be done when they are being done, correctly, and safely, by the time this is read, i will have my old worn out hub redrilled just to make sure it works

Just out of curiosity, are you just on this forum to argue with everyone who says you can't put different bolt pattern wheels on their car?

If you stick around here and read enough, and stop talking like you know everything, you'll realize that we've covered the "anything is possible with enough money and/or work" 100X over, but the answers given are because the people asking aren't at that kind of level in their car modding yet.

By the way you run your mouth, I'm betting you don't have nearly the experience you talk like, but that you work around guys who have, so you know some of the things that can be done, and don't truly understand all of the aspects of that level of mods. You act like you're going to come to the JBO and educate all of us naive ones who don't know that you can do mods like you suggest.

Nd its a good this the rims in the pic are on the car too. Haha

Stainless steel lines? Who needs them? Just don't brake O.O

. . . I think they would look pretty cool on a Cav actually . . . of course they are way heavy but for a DD maybe not too big of a deal.

A good machine shop should be able to add the 5 x 100 pattern clocked between the 5 x 110 pattern on the wheel itself. If somebody could get me the actual size of the thru hole and c'bore I can add it to the pic below to see exactly what it should look like.

Absolutely great . . . very very nice setup.

He didn't even need to bother with the 100mm . . .
