What years of 850 used 4 lug bolt rims?

Post by scot850 »

I know 1992 (Europe) and 1993 in Canada (possibly the US) used 4 bolt wheels. I am not sure if 1994 did as well or if the change happened in 1994 to go to 5 bolt wheels. Anyone know?

We are usually one year behind EU in improvements, except in soccer, health care, and spray can cheese.

Okay, spray can cheese.

I recall trying to find a winter set of alloys for our 93 about 15 years ago. Really hard to find a set as 4 bolt rims were hard to find. If I hadn't just replaced the rear wheel bearing/hubs, I would have retro-fitted 5 lug hubs all around to make wheel swapping much easier!

I wasn't sure about 94 if it was the whole year or like Misha says for the 95 MY update when they changed the wheels.

Appreciate the input guys!

Yours(U.S) market '94 had allready been facelifted but for late '94.
Ours(E.U) in '95...but it could vary for some markets...like passenger side airbag,for example.
