Is anyone running corvette or camaro 5 spoke rims. does anyone have pictures of one of our trucks with these type or rims? I just thought they might look good.

They have different bolt pattern. 5x4.75 Our trucks are 5x5. You can run them with the help of spacer/adapter.

They may cause stress to the wheel hub. Thats what scared me off from getting Iroc Z rims which would look killer IMO.

By "5 spoke" do you mean the slotted Rallye wheels?

If he's referring to the late model wheels, those will require a spacer anyway because of the FWD offset. Once the spacer is bolted to the wheel, the wheel hub shouldn't experience any abnormal stress, since the wheel won't be sticking out any further than a stock wheel. As long as you need spacers anyway, you should have no problems getting one that will adapt the 5x5 to 5x4.75.
