Wrong bolt pattern, I do not think they are 5 on 5

Thumpin455 · 01-19-2008, 01:23 AM

They are 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern, wont fit a fullsize, but they would fit an S10. Wouldnt mind having a set for my GTO, but unless they are already in Michigan or Wisconsin, it isnt in the interesting area yet.

B bodys like Catalina/Bonneville, Olds 88/98 and Buick Centurions have the 5x5 as do later Impala SS, but most of them had unimpressive wheels. The Imp SS had some nice wheels if you like 5 spokes.

they do make an adapter/spacer to bolt the 4.75 wheels to a 5" vehicle.

I think they do make adapters. I like those wheels with black centers.

munroe · 01-19-2008, 05:16 AM

i didnt know that they were diffrent bolt patterns. damn. maybe ill try to find some impala ss wheels then, i think they look sharp on these trucks, or stick with the steelies

Not only are those different bolt pattern wheels, but they also have different backspacing, front to rear -- that may be an issue as well.

yeah i tried to get a set of them on mine and it didnt work

spudz · 01-19-2008, 12:28 PM

I got and 87 GTA with those wheels and the fronts are deeper dish then the back!

Yeah fronts and rears are different, on my Buick it will take the fronts on all 4 corners (of the Buick) without modification, to use the rears requires spacers.

What most people do (for the turbo Buicks) is put the rears on the front with a spacer, and the fronts on the rear without spacer, or the holy grail, 4 fronts with no spacers.
