lets venture an educated guess and say no.. wheels dont have that much play as is. get the right bolt pattern..

well I guess the have enough play bcause I have read that it fits on other cars with the 114.3 bolt pattern..it is just snug..ok its real tight against the lugs. Anyone using 115mm bolt pattern wheels? or know if anything could happen if I did?

Actually you can use any pattern you like if you are willing to have the rims modded.
I was in my local wheels shop a few weeks ago looking for a replacement for my Sentra, my son destroyed the front n/s in an accident. Couldn't find one the right bolt pattern. The shop owner said, no prob, he could use the same wheel type with another pattern, have the existing holes modified. Think that involved argon-arc filling the holes and redrilling. I was super surprised, had no idea that could be done.
In the end though, the guy made me an offer, he took my remaining three wheels for spares and gave me four new wheels of a different pattern, total cost was $150.

I'm going to go out a limb, and say that the seller just rounded the 114.3 up to 115.

actually, many older GM cars and most newer ones use the 5x115 bolt pattern. its a metric bolt pattern and not SAE like the 114.3, which is 4.5 inches. i have heard one story once that someone tried to put them on and when they torqued down the lugnuts it ended up breaking one of them from the stress. DO NOT put a 115 bolt pattern wheel on a car designed for 114.3. thats just asking for trouble

I watched a guy take rims off a Skyline and bolt them on a 99+ Impala. Its possible. You may need different lug nutts, but its been done before.

I want to see what these rims look like.

19's will be a little heavy matt. If you really want to run those, I'm sure there is some type of converter what will change the bolt patter from 5x115 to 5x114.3. I dont know how you feel about extra pieces between the wheel and the hub, but I myself would rather stay away from any adapters or spacers, just the wheel and lug nuts sounds good and safe to me.

Marlon!! w'sup man! Long time no talk! Hows that 3.5 coming? done? I have decided to go de-k due to me not wanting to spend the extra time and money on the 3.5. So instead I purchased the ionic kit with the 97-99 front end and the 2 piece rear. Im doing the 97-99 front end conversion, cefiro 1 piece smoked headlights, im looking at coilovers(ksport) and I found these wheels..but in 115mm, I have wanted them for FOR EVER!! and I really want them in 19's. I am going for reliability now as well as looks so im not too concerned about the speed im loosing, its gonna look Amazing tho! The wheels are sick amazing, here's a pic:

Sup Man!? 3.5 will be in the engine bay in a couple of days. Thats cool your sticking with the de-k, a good engine with some extra kick with the VI.

Your car will look pretty damn nice with a front end conversion and Ksports and those wheels. VIP Maxima has those wheels in 19's I'm not sure where he got them from but I dont think he has them in 5x115. If anything shoot him a PM and see where he got them from. Those are the EVO-S, you should be able to find them anywhere that sells MilleMillia rims.

That would be one sexy car with those wheels and Ksports to match! I hope you find them in our bolt pattern

They were Gram Lights too, gold 57c IIRC. The impalla actually looked good with them. It just needed a 4" drop.
