View Full Version : Stock rims with 5x120 +25 backspacing?

I am wondering if anyone knows of any stock rims (17", or 18") that have the 5x120 bolt pattern, and have a +25 backspacing. I know that a lot of BMW's have that bolt pattern, and from what I can find the M3's have the exact specs I am looking for, but I was wondering if any other vehicles have those specs. I am looking for a set for my 1976 TA, because I want a relatively cheap set of good looking stock rims that will fit the C5/C6 rotors and calipers. I am really looking forward to doing that swap.

There is an up to date picture of my car right now. I am going to have it done most likely in the fall. Depending if I can get a job, when I am done with college.

Ok, first thing you should know about this subject is that your car is NOT a 5X120 pattern from the factory. The factory pattern on your car is 5X120.65 or 5X4.75". This will be different from the BMW wheels and could have some adverse affects or not depending on who you ask. Do a search on here for BMW wheels and you will come up with a few threads that will educate you more on these two bolt patterns and their interchangability. Just so you know, I plan on using BMW 18" wheels on my Nova for now as a (cheaper than forged) alternative.

I realize the difference, and I don't feel that it will make a huge difference. I plan on using them until I can afford to get the rims that I really want.

Sounds like we're in the same boat then. I'm looking at a set of M-parallel replicas that are 18X8 front and 18X9.5 rear. Bright silver paint and only $600 a set. Offsets are +13 F, +25 R. Don't know if you like that style or not.
