    The Impala SS wheels that lots of guys have on their RMWs: These are 17 inch wheels, correct? Does the bolt pattern correspond with the RMW?

    Also, my front bumper and grille are pretty rough. What other Buicks have interchangeable bumper and grille that fit the RMW? BTW, it's a 1995.

    Thank you.

    I am surprised no one has chimed in.

    Off of the top of my head I can't answer either question but am able to bump this to the top for you.

    sorry, I just got home.

    the bolt pattern for ALL post 1990 B/D Bodies (Impala SS, Olds Custom cruiser, Chevy Caprice, Buick Roadmaster, Cadillac Fleetwood) is the same....
    5x5 also called "5 on 5". so yes the impala wheels will fit any of the above and their respective wagons.

    the front end.....well thats a little different.
    the Buick has a taller grille and the front bumper dips down in the middle to accomodate that. some guys swap out the custom cruiser or chevy bumper and grill (i feel that putting a Chevy grill on a Buick is reprehensible however ..since a post 92 olds didnt exist, i'd say an olds grill and bumper is cool..as long as you change the rest of the badging out.) however...if you want something that...imo....looks elegant and striking you can put a roadmaster sedan front end on a wagon...

    Impala SS wheels are 17" x 8" wide. They fit great, the Impala SS and the Roadmasters are virtually the same platform, so most parts are interchangeable.

    As for the front bumper cover and grill, the '91-'96 Roadmaster wagon is all that fits directly. The sedan front ends are cool, but its a fair amount of work converting a wagon front to the sedan front.

    Yes, new GM grills are still available from GM now.
