adrian from calgary
i was out at pick your part in calgary and tried
every subaru rim out there on a 78 civic in the yard and not one fit. then i saw a saab and tried
the 14inch rim on the civic and it was out by just mm. the rim could be forced on but that is not a good idea any way to make this work out
i think it has a 4 118pd., or even 4 119pd?
could it be cross drilled then use lug washers
to make it snug. saab had some neat rims on there
factory line up

Interesting! THAT machine shop i use has a few saabs (he like them) and I think he had a few sets of the old 'mesh' ones

Hello all.....

I have seen those rims.....they look like minilites but they have the saab logo cast onto them if you look closely. They are 15x5.5 I think? They would look really nice on a civic, I think they are 4x118 pcd though. I read something about drilling out rims to a different pcd though.....maybe they can be done this way.

toyota celica alum rims fit but the center of the bolts is out to the edge is there a possible
solution to this , saab also had a nice 14inch
spoked rim [about 20 ] i think that would look good too. adrian in calgary

Go to Bucks
There is a 78, the wheels on the back are 13" I don't know what they are off but they could help you.

Most likely off a civic wagon or accord.

I couldn't help but read about the civic at Bucks. I was by there and was the one who ripped the windshield out as well as a few other goodies. I just recently bought a blue 78 Civic this last fall and have been following the messages. Good to see a few others here in Calgary.
