I will be taking my 1970 Cutlass off the frame soon. I was wondering is I can use the 20" OEM Camaro wheels as low price rollers being that I will have 14" disc brakes?

Too much offset and the wrong bolt pattern. You'll need rather large adapters.

You are clutch as always. Thanks for the info. I might need to just wait until I have the suspension and brakes on it. I am sure that will further complicate things.

Good plan, if you are wanting to squeeze larger wheels/tires in there you should have your suspension and brakes sorted out first.

I'm confused, what is different with the bolt pattern?

Not much actually. 5x120 and our cars are 5x120.65. The will still technically match up. Similar to people running BMW wheels. These huge brakes I have are causing me to run bigger wheels.

So the 5 gen Camaro bolt pattern is 5x120 now and not 5x120.65 anymore

Correct, its an easier issue to overcome with using 5th gen brakes but the wheels will be a difficult fit

Will 18's fit with the brakes you have?

Short answer is yes, I have 18's up front, but there is less than 1/4" between the caliper to wheel so I can assume certain 18's may have trouble.

It would be nice if they can. The brakes are off the 5th gen SS Camaros. The frame should be put together by next week hopefully. I want to put something on them until I get the set I want.
