They can fit but.... I had to install Ford F250 springs in the front and rear. Along with airshocks in the rear. Also you will need to notch the frame so you will be able to trun fully. Also you will have to cut out the entire inside of the wheel wells in the front. Along with shaving the front bottom corner of the front wheel wells. 1.50" spacers will also be needed to fit the rims on the back. The cutlass lug pattern is 5x4.75 (the same as s-10,camaro and corvettes.) Holla at me if you need more help. Oh and your local Redneck truck lift shop can do it for you but.... You gonna pay probaly bout like 700-1000 for a decent lift. Make sure they extend your upper arms in the front also. And adjust your steering.

Re: will these rims fit?

Well I got a regal. But they are the same soooo....SHHH! dont tell any of these olds guys lol. Go to Autozone/Advanced parts/etc...... And buy some F-150 rear springs for the rear. Then buy some of the Twist spacers for the front. And cut out all the wheel well plastic crap. also turn out the adjust meant screw on the upper A-Arms in the front. Then buy some 1.50" spacers for the wheels and your done. This is the extremely cheap way to do it though. Also might need to notch the frame right behind the front tires and shave a little of the outside wheel whells.any paint an body shop can do that for probaly like 100 bucks. so.... good luck and get wiht me AMIL if you ahve anymore questions. I rarley ever check forums.
