Hey...does anyone know if steering wheels between an 88 Cutlass and a 98 will interchange? Found one that looks the same, but not sure if it will or not...anyone know?


Thanks!

Matt

 

The picture on the left is a Toronado. The picture on the right is a 98. What swap are you trying to do?

 

It might work, though in '88, there was the RWD Cutlass Classic AND the FWD Cutlass (W-body, GM10 platform). I'd say the RWD Cutlass wheel would work, not so sure about the FWD Cutlass wheel (and I'll bet that one would look horrible, regardless). I beleive a Cutlass Ciera (FWD, A-body) wheel from that year (or thereabouts) would also work.

Your interior as I recall is kinda tan, which may limit wheel options as well.

Here'as a brown wheel from an 88 Cutlass (RWD or possibly a Ciera):

But I bet you'd like a leather wheel? Could be a tough find, but a "sport" wheel as used in an 86-89 Toronado Trofeo, would probably look great in your car. Possibly also a leather wheel from any similar era FE3 equipped 88 or 98 series car (I assume tan was an available color).

Again, 20+ years on, could be hard to finda wheel that matches your interior color AND is in nice shape; perhaps you can have the leather on yours restored, as previously discussed in another thread.

 

Most of the GM steering wheels from 1969-up will interchange, or at least fit.

 

Hey Aliens...that is the wheel I was looking at...appears to be the same layout and size as mine on the 98...


Olds 64...those are my two cars...I want to put a new wheel in the 98, mine is shot...and was looking at the wheel in the ebay link posted above that is a from a FWD Cutlass ( I believe it is from a FWD)

 

Oh ok. Good luck finding a steering wheel. Did you consider this company?

I love Wheelskins so much, I bought the company.

Victor Kiam used to be in Remington shaver commercials, that he liked the Remington razor so much he bought the company http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yv3y1Ergwo

Pity buying the N.E. Patriots didn't work out quite as well for him.

I still say that Ebay wheel would be the perfect choice.
