I believe that it will. To be sure all you have to do is check the adaptor part numbers for the custom wheels for both cars and see if they're the same; and according to the VB catalogs for both cars the part numbers match.

I too think that the splines and shaft are the same. If so, you are going to enjoy the smaller ( 14.5" VS 15.5" ) wheel. More leg room too.

At the same time you might consider shortening the gear lever by about an inch and a half. There are several ways to do it. I believe that mine is the easiest and fastest. Ask and I will tell you how I do it.

Thanks guys, so I know it will fit now. Another question is, besides the easier turning radius, don't you think the 15 inch wheels give the car a more classic look to it than the small 14 incher.
