Can I use a 5 bolt tire rim to mount snow tires on a 4 bolt Versa SL?I've got a good buy on 4 tires with rims but not sure if it's okay to mount them this way? These rims are from a Corolla. Will they fit a Versa? Thanks.Marty

The rims will not fit. Depending on the size of the tire it may fit ur stockers.

No, the rims will not fit. You have 4 studs..it has 5 holes...they won't line up.

I'd just go find some steelies for the winter.

Well... which yr of Corolla??

If it's a 4 bolt Corolla, you can have a try.

If you got a 5 bolr Corolla, you got 2 solution1. see which garage will help you to dril 4 holes on each rims, but it will be quite expensive

2. Like what Knightro2 said, a set of steel rims

What sort of garage will drill 4 holes on a 5 bolt rim?

I know it sounds weird, but suprise enough, some garages will do those kind of work...

You can't drill a wheel for a different bolt pattern. You just can't. The tires sound like the same size as stock Versa tires anyway, so all you have to do is take them to a tire place and they will take the tires off all the wheels, and put the "new" ones on your Versa wheels. I've had that done, I've never paid more than $25 for bringing in already mounted tires to go on a different car.

no... what i mean is drill another set of bolt pattern on the rims...

Ex. like Versa's rims have... let say 100X4 bolt pattern, but this car use 120X4, so you drill a 120X4 bolt pattern on that Versa rims....

Almost impossible to drill lets say 4x100 on a 4x114 rim. You have to drill a hole 7mm closer to the centre, would just end up with one big hole. And I can't even imagine how accurate the shop has to be... extremely accurate. Btw tried Googling it, but no luck. Are you sure you a talking about "shops drilling hole" and not about multi fit rims?
