Beamer rims on an IROC
i was on ebay and saw some nice rims that only had 1 pattern, claiming to fit a beamer, a gto, and camaro and firebird. is this a scam or do they really fit?

Re: Beamer rims on an IROC
This topic has come up before and I think there was an issue about the wheels being either lug-centric or hub-centric, whatever that means.

Lug centric uses the lug nuts to center the wheel. Hub centric uses the hub to center the wheel. Our cars are lug centric.

As long as the wheels are lug centric and you use the lug centric camaro lugs then, yes itll work

Re: Beamer rims on an IROC
Did they fit on perfectly, or did you have to fight them a little?

Re: Beamer rims on an IROC
A little playing with the wheels to get the studs in the center of the holes. That's all. Oh, and longer studs would be a lot better.
