Ok guys I am not a mech not do I know everything about the justy. This is why I am seeking some help. I have a 1989 justy in great conditions. This is my wife beater car. Just like all of us I want to had a unique look to my justy. my question to all you gearheads out there is can I put golf cart wheels on the justy? I was recenty on a golf cart webb site and I was fully posished 12" rims 7" wide. Will these fit a justy? They have 4 holes, but will the holes line up. If they do I intend to make my justy a cross beteween a ATV and a baja truck.
My second question is will the lift kits that fir on a golf cart also be able to fit the justy? This is of course after making a few Mods. Let me know, because I know theres a lot of you out there that want rimes for your cars. If these rims fit they will give the car a tuffer look I think.

the golf cart wheels might fit, but you will need to measure the bolt pattern, just measure diagonally accross the square.. problem is, are those rims rated for highway speed? and the agricultural tires for those carts will fly apart at high speeds so you would need to get new tires to fit the rims, and at 7" wide you might end up having to cut away some sheet metal to make them fit in the wells... youd probably save time and money by having your justy wheels sand blasted and chromed at your local chromer. or do like the rest of us and find some nice wheels from an old chevelle or something else that will fit..your best bet when using "donated" parts is to at least use parts from other cars.

I second GPC's notion...
DO NOT PUT THOSE WHEELS ON!
they are not rated for speed, or more importanly the loading they will sustain cornering at even 40 Km/hr! the Justy bolt patern is refered to as 4x100... used in just about every cheap econo box out there from chevettes to civics.... go to a wrecker and find what you like...
The problem is that the inner dimension of the center hole is generally too small on most other wheels to fit on the front... You will notice that there are four little tabs/lugs which help to centre the wheel on the hub... many people grind these off... I would not recommend doing that... they will help disipate some of the cornering forces the front lug nuts will be enduring... rather grind your wheels to fit snugly... then you can still use Justy rims.
My 2 cents

i know Renault Clio/Megane wheels fit, or at least they have the same offset, pcd and bolt pattern. get some of the Williams Clio ones, the would look cool if you can find any....
