I doubt it, with the Vibe being a Toyota and all...that's what stopped me from getting what I want for cheap too.

The bolt pattern on the Vibe is 5X100. If the rims are the same, you should have no trouble.

I wouldn't get too hopeful with that...GM seems to like using 5x115 on a lot of their more recent vehicles...

1997 to current Grand Prix's are all 5x115 pattern. You'll need wheel adapters to make these fit.

Transitioning from a Z28 to a front-wheel-drive 4-cylinder is a shift indeed! Regarding the Mille Miglias, check the offsets for compatibility. Your buddy's offer sounds tempting—good luck with the transition!Magic 8 Ball

Hi guys
It sounds like a thrilling journey adapting to a 6-speed Z28! Embracing a new transmission can be both challenging and rewarding. The learning curve might take some time, but with determination, I'm confident you'll conquer it smoothly. Magic 8 Ball
