will a bmw wheel fit a 69 camaro

[jat5150]

I need some rollers to move the car around and my friend has a set of bmw wheels that i can have, but i dont know if they will fit.

the bolt pattern for a bmw is 5 x 120

When i google it looks like third gen camaros can fit bmws so does that mean they will fit a 69?

Thanks

Depends what the backspacing is, they will bolt up but the bolt pattern is off by .65mm, so you really should run adapters for highway use, but for just rolling around the shop they should be fine.

Older 5 and 7 series staggered sets (8.5 and 10) will usually bolt right on with the correct backspacing but double check to be sure. If you decide to run them on the road you will need hubcentric rings. At least this has worked for me.

Agreed. I bought a set of Ronal Wheels for my 73 TA. This subject has been brought up several times quite recently, and farther back too. Do a search in here and double check BSing for your wheels....and your application. Often no two cars are exactly the same.

I've been running BMW wheels (Forgeline) on my Camaro for years with no problems. Never been on the track with them, but lots of miles on the highway. I installed new studs when I initially put them on and there doesn't seem to be any signs of stress. I know there are a lot of varying opinions on this though.

Thanks to all for the quick responses, looks like the camaro is going to get some new rollers.

If you do need adapters, I'm running ones from http://www.motorsport-tech.com/, they're really nice quality and great to deal with.
