Camaro Bolt pattern 5x120mm?????

ive seen on ebay a couple sets of nice wheel but they say they fit many BMW's and camaros as well. but the listed bolt pattern is 5x120mm and i thought that was different from 5x4 3/4


and what size tire do you suggest for a 8.5" wide rim??? i would like to run at least 275-285

Well given that 4.75" is exactly 120.7mm I think they are the same! make sure you get the right offset/backspacing.

Tyre manufacturers publish the recomended rim size for their tyres. I know the kumho data is easy to :

for example :
http://www.kumhousa.com/Products/Ptn...=1&PtnID=KU-21

In this case you need at least a 9"rim for these kumho asx tyres. Other manufacturers/models may do a 275 that fits a 8.5" rim. You will also find many folks don't bother listening to the manufacturers and get away with it. Your choice.

Si.
