I was thinking of getting some 5x4.75 spares (17" to clear the brakes) but have no idea where to get them. I looked at a junk yard and they were CHEAP! like 20 bucks a tire, but it was difficult to determine if they would fit for sure. They looked like 5x4.75, but who's to say they weren't?

5x4.75 is 5x120.65mm
and that is really close to 5x115, 120, 127 so my measuring could be off enough to make it a royal pain!

Anyone know where to get a set of 4 spares for cheap? Ebay and craiglist are no help!

Thanks!

im in the same boat with the nova im going to be sending it to paint in oct. i think i may just roll it on the 15 inch without the calipers on it the rotors fit(c5) that may be an idea if you dont find them or if you do, find out if they have 8 and ill buy a set also.

They are a 5x120 BP which people have used that pattern on the 5x4.75, its just really not recommended but if your just using them to roll around and not driving down the highway at 70mph dont see why they wouldnt work..

I use 04-06 GTO spares but I discovered that they do not fit C6 Z51 front brake calipers. They would probably fit with a small spacer. They do fit regular C5/C6 brakes.

but they are 65.00 (opening bid) and 40 for shipping. 105.00 for one wheel doesn't seem like a good deal to me...
