Thread: Need some information about replacement rims

Tweet

I recently had a blow out on my monza and it was such a pain to find another 13 inch tire. I live in Lousianna and we had to order it from NYC. Its a 76 monza so it has the four lug bolt pattern. Im wanting to upgrade to 14,s or 15.s. I eed to know the basic information about the size I need and if their is any possible way to even buy good looking (chrome) four lug 14-15'' rims and where would i from ? and if possible, does anyone know my actual bolt pattern ??

Thanks,

Slade

Try it now

On my 75 town coupe I sent out the axles to Moser to have them weld them and re-drill them with the longer studs to a common Chevy 5 bolt pattern.Nice work and as I remember it was pretty cheap.

Just wondering what axles have to do with buying wheels???

Thanks for the attempt but Monza isnt on this list and @1gary i dont want to go thru that much trouble if i can keep from it

Well -there's "good news and bad news"... The Monza used a 4 lug on 4" pattern and you should be able to find them at a local tire and wheel store. There are some available on ebay and such - 4 LUG Centerline Wheels Chevy Vega, Monza, Others | eBay

However - to Gary's post, long term the fix is to have your axles re-drilled to accept standard 5 lug components. I have a 1963 Nova SS that was four lug and I converted to 5 lug to make life easy and be able to get some "real wheels". Mine was easy as the rear end was swapped from a 1965 Nova and I used a Fatman Fabrication kit for the front end. It was however; an "investment" of about $4K as I rebuilt rear end, converted to 3 leaf springs (from mono) and went with killer shocks and traction bars. the front kit required me to buy MacPherson struts and I used 11" rotors from a Z28.

Sorry for the brief "hijack" - but hope you find the additional information helpful for future planning as it sounds like you want to continue to enhance the Monza.
