G body rally wheels on A body

Will 80s g body rally wheels fit A body cars? I have a cutlass and I'm getting different information some say yes some say no. It's the same bolt pattern not sure on the hub size. So will they fit?

I have seen a lot of online pictures of A bodies with them, so yes.

As far as I know all Oldsmobile SSII/SSIII wheels are lug centric. You just have to use the correct lug nuts. I think the only issue would be if you tried to use older wheels with less offset on newer cars. I have 15 x 7 snap on cap SSIII wheels on my 1970 Cutlass with no issues.

The 1968-74 SSII/III wheels with bolt-in centers are hub-centric. All 1975-up SSII/III wheels with snap-in centers are lug-centric. Most tire stores have no idea how to balance them correctly.

The mention of different lug nuts for the wheels has me wondering, do the different wheels need different lug nuts?

Sometimes, but in this case no. The G-body cars use metric wheel studs, the A-body cars use 7/16-20 wheel studs. The nuts need to match the studs. They are just normal taper seat lug nuts, nothing esoteric.
