Im looking to get some Aero Series 59 Wheels. The only problem is, the bolt pattern is 5 on 5. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my 1988 v6 camaro has a 5x4.75 bolt pattern. Is there a way I can get around this problem?

Also, what is everyone's opinion on these wheels? Sweet or no go?

 

I'm not sure if it would work, but I'd contact a company like Skulte and see if they can make a spacer that would work in your application. Calling is always worth a try.

 

5 on 5 is the large GM bolt pattern. Used on pickup trucks, B-body and full size cars. The 5 on 4-3/4" is the more common GM car bolt pattern.

It's not practical to convert your current axles to 5 on 5 but as mentioned above, you may be able to get adapters. Personally, I'd sell the wheels and get some with the proper bolt pattern. Depending on the backspacing, the adapters may push the wheels out too far.

 

I think they look good if you own a Jeep, or a SUV. I personally do not think they would look right on a third gen.

 

But they do look good on a third gen. Disregard the aero kit on this one. (japanese just cant stand to have anything stock)

 

they sell those wheels in a 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern we used em on our modified.

 

Aero kit? Looks like ground effects from a 91 or 92. It's when they put those stupid big wings on the back that they look bad.

 

The gfx do look similar to the stock 91-92's, but they were extended a bit and they got some holes put in the front. Im pretty sure its a one-off done in japan somewhere. I personally dont think it looks all that bad, but i just didnt want ppl turning this thread into a "oh my god that body kit is (fill in the blank)"

Where did you buy them, cuz i have only seen 5 on 5 on the 'net.

 

those wheels belong on jeeps who can't afford real wheels and would be much heavier than a nice aluminum rim. Not sure why you'd want a circle track wheel anyways that looks like the cheap off road rims that everyone uses.

or any circle track vendor will have them. Just look for something meant for a hobby stock car. You'll need to do some measuring and see what back spacing you need. Stock 16x8 wheels have 5", you'll probably need the same for the 15's, but I'm not sure you can find them with that much back spacing.

 

From what I have seen, they have a 4.5" backspacing. They are a 9.5" wide wheel. Would they stick out too much?

 

Lets break out our handy dandy calculator....actually for this one I have enough fingers.

Stock 16" wheels are 8" wide with 4" of backspacing in the front and 5" in the rear. So, you have 4" of rim out board of the hub in the front and 3" in the rear. The wheels your looking at have 5" of wheel outboard of the hub 9.5-4.5=5. So go look at your car and see if you have 1" of extra room in the front and 2" in the rear. My experience says it'll look like azz, but your in luck because 90% of these wheels come in 8" width, which would work better.

 

okay im in love with those weld nascar wheels been looking for a little bit now to see if they would work. I wouldnt think the nascar wheels are thaat heavy and for the price i think they just look too good. Do they only come in 15 because the ones on the jap car look way bigger
