Uni-Lug mags do allow a set of wheels to fit various cars.  However, you 
need to be able to find the correct "adapters" that fit into the  slots in the 
wheels for the Corvair bolt pattern. That might be a  challenge.

You also need to be careful that the backspacing of the  wheels will work 
on the Corvair.

Hope this helps.

The early Mustang 6-cylinder had the same 4 on 4.5" bolt pattern as  the 
Corvair. If he has the adapters that worked for the Rustang, they should  work 
for the Corvair. The lug nuts are wrong, though. You will need the 7/16 -  
20 RH lug nuts to match the Uni-lug holes. Fords didn't use the 7/16  RH 
threads.
