any idea if these fit our 5x5 pattern?

[3r!c84]

if its 5x5 and the off set is right it will fit

[Dalaigh]

No, they are 5x120 (5x4.75), even thought S10's are 5x4.75, they technically don't even fit S10's, S10 are actually 5x120.7, yes that .7 makes a differents between safe and unsafe IMO

nice looking wheels none the less

[Puglia10]

Damn, so it doesn't look like they're gonna be 5x5, I'll see if he can find any more info out to be sure. I do have bolt patern adapters but if I'm gonna spend that much money, I want wheels that fit right. Thanks everyone. The search continuessss!

That .7 isnt notice able, I ran 19" BMW wheels on a 66 pontiac Lemans without a problem. Alot of people do it, and I do mean ALOT. Also ran the same wheels on a 85 buick regal.

Adapters yes, and I would have a set made up. That way they could be made with the correct 5x120 mm and they can be made with the correct hub diameter, which would keep the wheels hubcentric which is the most important part.

If you end up getting the wheels and have adapters made, I would check these guys out. http://www.motorsport-tech.com/

Thanks, ill check out that site when I'm not on my phone. Are they expensive? Also, this was his response when I asked the exact bolt pattern: Bmw and chevy 5 lug are both the sameive hade them on both 5x120*mm is 5x4.75 nches. Is that right? What chevys are 5x4.75 and what do I need to make these work?

Alot of chevys are 5x4.75 camaros, corvettes, s10s, just to name a few

If you dont want to spend alot on adapters, get on ebay and look for an adapter that is a 5x5 to a 4x75 lug. There should be plenty of them on there. Summit might have something as well..

But before you buy cheap adapters you should know that the problem with just buying mass manufactured wheel adapters is that they will not be wheel centric, And this by far is the most important part. (keeps the wheels rolling round, doesnt rely on the studs and lugnuts to center the wheel and keeps the wheel from resting on the wheel studs.) Another thing, you dont want to buy cheap adapters, is your life and others really worth the few dollar savings from buying cheap, chinese made adapters?

Alot of people doing it doesn't make it safe, alot of people drink and drive, alot of idiots street race, alot of people talk on ther phone and drive, or text and drive, and those acts still aren't safe. That .7 it puts undo stress on studs and has cause wheels to brake loose from the hub.

People autocross with BMW wheels on their muscle cars and Ive never heard of one problem. Did it to 2 vehicals one was a daily for a year, not one problem.

[Camaro350Z28]

ive heard of plenty of studs breaking from the bmw to chevy pattern. its definitely not safe but it will fit just stress the studs like stated

[knightowl73]

easiest way for 5x4.75 up front is a set of 73 chevy van front rotors, they were small bolt pattern and its a bolt-on swap if your truck has the light duty brakes.

on the rear, pulling the axles and all the brake hardware from a early 80's box caprice if you run a 10-bolt.
ive only done the front so far, havent verified the rear is FAQ yet, but havent found a box caprice the last few times i went to the PnP yet. Ive done some research and found this info on one of the other truck sites a while back, cant remember which one, but someone else might recognize the info and chime in
