These rims seem to fit but they also seem off just a hair.. or is it just me? any ideas? do they make wobble nuts? its a bmw type rim but it says it should fit on chevy from the auction i got it from.

 

What rims are "these rims"?

 

Size: 18"x8.5" front, 18"x9.5" rear

Off Set: +13mm front and +15mm rear

Bolt Pattern: 5x120

Hubsize unknown.

Seems like the lugs dont even seat properly.. like its off measurement or somethin.
here is a link to the ebay listing i got it from, http://www.ebay.com/itm/251157166867...84.m1423.l2649 the thing says Iroc and i even called the guy and he said i dont gotta do any mods.

 

BMW is 5x120 Ours is 5x120.65

It is because those are the BMW bolt pattern which is very close but not quite right. Many people have run BMW wheels are experienced little or no problems, but one member took it a step further to correct the lug pattern misalignment issue.

i certainly dont have the resources to redrill my wheels. they were gotten cheap from a drunk ebay purchase. im thinking the front wont go over the hubs on the rotor.i found out its a 74.1mm wheel hub bore and a 70.3 stock vehicle hub... hubcentric spacers to clear the center front hub?? and maybe a set of wobble nuts? any ideas?

 

front hubs are also an issue i found out today,maybe 1.5 inches of hub on the car that protrudes and wont let the rim slip on the car. idk wtf to do about that other than find a huge spacer..

 

well, sounds like you will be spending some money to make them fit. spacers probably wont do you any good because the wheels will be too far out. You can take them to a maching shop and have the hub opening opened up a bit to fit the front hubs.

IF you do that, and use hubcentric rings to locate the wheels, you can use the wobble nuts to deal with the 120-120.65 bolt issue if you want.

 

I'd try to go back to the seller as they are not as described, and explain what's going on...Or relist them and buy the right ones.

 

Good choice!

 

Lots of people like to think that bmw wheels fit the Chevy bolt pattern they will go on but WILL put alot of pressure on the studs commonly breaking them regardless of the lug nuts u use I would take them back.

 

Ok my issue is not resolved.
One thing i gotta pay shipping back, and that means i paid shipping twice which costs almost as much as the wheels themselves. This is rediculous. That Listing said IROC.. im mad but i think im gonna look into options and price out a shop to machine the front wheel hub bores out wider, (since thier different then the rear) to clear the hub on the car. then figure out how much adapters will be to go from 120.65 to 120 so i dont have to find wobble nuts.. which arent sold anywhere in my area, and i cant even find them on ebay.

any good wheel machine shops in Maryland or DMV area?

( i have no idea why they send in a set of rims where two have smaller /different hub bores.. )

 

File a complaint with eBay directly & do not take the Sellers word as final, because they DID misrepresent the wheels.

 

wont i have to ship these back to get my refund? im out another bunch a money anyway.

 

You misunderstand.....

If eBay deciders in your favor, which they will because they were falsy advertised, eBay can refund ALL the fees & make the Seller cover return shipping.

Don't believe me? Well....You won't know until you try. NEVER lay down & say a seller on eBay or Amazons word for anything, or you will just get run over.

Don't just sit back & let them run all over you.

 

I am running into the same kind of issue. My bolt pattern is correct but the hub on the front is to big and I can't fit it through the rim. I didn't know if a fourth gen was different and that would work? I really don't want to make the center hole on my rim bigger because the value of the rims will go down but I just don't know what to do.

 

n/m

 

What wheels? What specs? If they don't require a spacer to fit the offset, your options are to sell them, or have the wheels opened up to fit the hub. That's it. If they are 4th gen wheels, you mentioned 4th gen? They will need a 2" spacer to fit the car, and the spacer can be had with a larger opening to cover the hub

 

I decided to keep the wheels and have the machine shop mill the fronts so the hub can slip thru farther, and i used a 1 inch spacer to make up the rest of the difference. the rear has no mods only a plastic wheel ring ,74mm to 70.3. 245/40 fronts and 285/35 rears

 

I would lose the BMW center caps. Other than that, no bad.
