Today, At a boneyard I found a 4 set of rims that are attached to a 1986 Chevy nova that has the same 4 bolt hole pattern and is 13 inch, looking to replace for the winter since I am moving to Ohio in August and do not want to get the montegi MR116's rims salty dirty. Any suggestions? Factory label on door states p165/65r13 were stock....email Redwingzs1@Gmx or will see here Thanks from Alabuckeye!! |

If the bolt pattern is 4x114.3 you are good Basically 4x4.5. If you are just using them for winter, throw 175x70x13 on your nova rims. Just my .02 Otey |

There's more to wheel sizing than just the bolt pattern. You need wheels off a front wheel drive car that is close to the same offset. Ken........... |

86 nova's are front wheel drive. It's basically a rebadged toyota corolla. |

All the information I find online indicates that the bolt pattern is 4 X 100 which means they will not fit. |

Chevy Nova turned into the GEO Prizm. It's a Toyota Corolla and it uses a 4 x 100 bolt pattern. Won't fit a Metro/Swift. Otey13, that website is wrong about the Suzuki Aerio bolt pattern. That's a tough model as it is different than any other Suzuki and it's hardly a hot rod rat rod, but still, I'm just sayin'. |

You can get new ones online, but you're going to pay $40 a piece for them. Best bet is a junkyard, all 95 - 01 Metros had the perfect wheels for you. Wait, best bet is don't drive your Metro Vert in the Ohio snow! |

Just my 2 cents worth but your wheels will be your least worry. Geo frame work is prone to rust. What ever you do about wheels you need to be very picky about keeping the salt and road grimey junk washed from the underside. Even nice wheels can be replaced easy compared to rusty undercarrage. I just hate to see a great old Geo go down because of rust. |
