will they fit?

my buddy just wrote off his navigator and bought it back from the insurance company and is parting it out, he has the 18x8 chrome wheels on it and is asking a dirt cheap price.. but the question is will they fit on a mazda? i know bolt pattern wise.. but size wise? any one know?

then you know they DONT fit.

The bolt pattern is 3/16th of an inch off. For those that dont know, that is almost like trying to put ranger wheels on an S10, where the pattern is 1/4 inch off, and doesnt work either.

The only reason it KIND of works when people do it is because the stud holes in the nav wheels are so big, the studs themselves bend and take the strain.

And if you are looking in the profiles and see navi rims on Mazdas, like on dragginbagged 's, its because he had his hubs and rotors redrilled to the nav pattern.

Doesnt work. Not safely anyway.

I seen a guy that had his nav wheels redrilled next 2 the original holes at a machine shop looked killer on his mazda...

Russ mazda king.... so the pattern on the mazda is 6x139 and navigator is 6x135?? when i put them on it it slid on thats why i thought bolt pattern was the same so what do i do? wheels are in mint shape dont want to turn the offer down

have either your hubs redrilled to the navi pattern like wiggity wayner did, or have your wheels redrilled to the mazda pattern like the guy seth is talking about.

Yeah they "fit" because the holes are so big. Which isnt really fitting.
