October 28, 200619 yr ok here is the deal....I am going to hook up a board member with my snow tires/wheels off of the 83 GL and they are going to put them on say a 92 loyale. Will the wheels fit from one car to another. I remember something about brakes hitting but ??????? FWIW, the 92 in question is a 2wd car and the 83 is a beautiful black car with really low miles on it....and yes I realize i am just rambling right now but i am having withdraw from not driving that really nice black 83 GL. (shhhh its sleeping for the winter already ) And just b/c it is my thread and I am in a strange mood...I am going to make my post eleventybillion times better with a few naners... :banana: :banana: :banana:
October 28, 200619 yr I don't think the rim will fit. The change over in '85 called for a different rim I believe.
October 28, 200619 yr Ea-81 rims generally do not fit around EA-82 front rotors correct, and just for the record, there is no difference in the brakes from FWD to 4WD. usually, it's the steelies. it may still be worth a test fit, but don't be dissapointed if they don't fit.
October 28, 200619 yr generally Looks like it's a test it out situation. This is what I have heard too. Some fit, most don't.
October 28, 200619 yr Author Thanks guys...I was 95% sure this was the answer before i posted but i wanted to be 100%. My main problem with "test fitting" is that the cars are about 150 miles apart. Thanks again guys.
October 28, 200619 yr matt, if you need someone to help you test fit to double check, youre more than welcome to try to put one on my wagon.
October 28, 200619 yr Author Thanks john....I just had a bright idea....there is a loyale sedan FS at a car lot about 2 miles from here. I might have to take an extended test drive. But if that doesn't work out....I might take you up on that.

October 28, 200619 yr Hey Matt..Since Bucky is the 92 Loyale in question its really not a big deal...I happen to have a tire guy who will swap the rims super cheap!...Will just give me another reason to come back home to PA to Harrys U Pull it to swipe a couple more rims.. If I wait a couple more weeks I may be looking for XT6 parts and I happen to know where there is a couple. ;) ..You still the man Matt and I still want them...and dont forget..sometime I soon I should have my EA81 back again:banana: :banana:
October 28, 200619 yr Author you let me know when, what,and how and we'll go from there....they are holding the front of the 83 up at the moment so i don't think they are going anywhere....
October 28, 200619 yr It seems like I read in a previous post here that with a "little" grinding on the front caliper, they will fit.
October 29, 200619 yr It seems like I read in a previous post here that with a "little" grinding on the front caliper, they will fit. I made a spacer for them years ago. It was either 1/8" or 1/4" thick.
