bolt pattern question

[69projectKAOS]

i know my camaro bolt pattern is 5x4.75,which comes out to be 5x120.65mm, but i found a set of rims that are 5x120 which equals 5x4.72. will they fit my car?? -Dom

Yes, they will fit. You'll need to get hubcentric rings to ensure they center corrrectly, but there are many on this site using them on their projects. I'm soon to be included in that group once my C6 brake swap is complete.

Use the search and you'll find alot of good information.

would a 18x10 rim with +25 offset and 3.5" lip fit on the back of my 1st gen with rolled fenders and spacers if needed? and 18x8.5 rim with +30 offset with 1.75" lip up front?? anyone know??-Dom

thanks ^^^ analyte, i appreciate the help -Dom

That would give you BS of about 6.5 inches in the rear and 5.9 or 6 inches in the front. I used this calculator: http://www.ccwheel.com/files/incs/te...rter/index.php

You will have to look around on threads here and see what backspacing works on stock wheel well 69's. What wheels are you going with? I have had a hard time finding 18x10's in either bolt pattern that won't break the bank.

I like this wheel/rim calculator....gives you a visual of what the rim/tire will look like.....you can compare sizes side by side, with the dual panes.

One word of caution regarding installing 5x120 wheels on a 5x4.75 bolt pattern. If you run one lug down before the others, you can draw the wheel off center and essentially create what looks like a cam lobe. I have witnessed a stud that kept breaking before realizing that the bolt pattern was just slightly off, such as with your example. I believe that metal fatigue may have been a contributing factor. If you install the wheels, re-torque them after 20 miles and check often.

the best rear back for a 10" wheel on a 69 is going to be between 5.5"-5.75" with the front between 5.25"-5.5" for a 8.5" wheel. you can use spacers to make this happen. just be sure to use longer, high quality studs.
