I have a set of VX alloys sitting around, so I thought maybe I would try them out on my 91 Tercel. Bolt circle is the same, but the center bore for the Tercel is 54.1mm and the CB for the VX is 56.1mm. I realize that 4 bolt wheels rely on the center bore in order to stay centered, but has anyone tried it without some kind of spacer? I guess if the wheel was tightened while the car was in the air and had no weight on the wheel it should be centered properly just by the wheel studs?
