Bolt patterns :/

Hello,
First off, im new to the boards and love the website! Great job guys!

I own an 86' IROC Camaro and I want to buy new rims for it, I havent done much research and im not a car guru but I know I need to know the bolt patterns to get the right rims. I want to buy 20" for the back and 19" for the front (that's what im thinking). Also I want to get new brake disks/pads, what information do I need when I get those?

Any suggestions or answers? Should I get 20 front, 19 back? What metal rims?

Thanks a lot,

[EDIT]Meant 19 in front, 20 in back[/EDIT]

Have a specific wheel in mind?

Depending on the backspacing, you may also need adapters, which could take care of the bolt pattern issue.

Why do you want larger wheels up front? That doesn't make any sense; if you want diferent sizes then put the larger wheel in back. 19 and 20's are pretty big, you need to take measurements (tire included) to make sure you'll clear the fender lip.
As for the bolt pattern, you's should be 5 x 4 3/4 in (120.65mm). Good luck finding a 19in wheel with that spacing. Our wheel types aren't on the newer cars, so there isn't much available out there. You'll find some with the right bolt pattern, but you'll need spacers to make most of them fit because they have very positive offsets.

Eek, I meant I wanted 20" in the back and 19" in the front. I wanted a rim that has less metal in it (so it shows the brake disk/pad) if you know what I mean.

If anyone knows/has a rim or knows of a rim company that would fit 5 x 4 3/4 in (120.65mm) then please list it I would be very happy

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it.
