Monza/Astre/Sunbird/Starfire/Shyhawk rims are also 4 on 4 - these are
all GM H-body, basically a Vega Mk2.
Corvair wheels are 4 on 4.5" - same bolt pattern as Nissan, Mazda,
Toyota RWD, MGBs, early Ford Mustangs...

The 3/8" nuts that come with the Minitor rims work very well with Vega
rims.
They use a 13/16" lug wrench and have plenty of meat to keep from
pulling
throufh, although you DO have to make sure that they are properly
centered
before you torque them down. I believe the Monza/Astre/Sunbird cars also
used 4-on-4. Anyone have an old Monza rear axle laying around?
