Just want someone who knows more about the specifics of rims that will fit our cars to check this out for me. I first seen these rims at a rim warehouse out where I stay two yrs ago but it has since closed down, so I found them online. I found them with a + offset of 35 or 40 and i find them in width 8.5" and 10" and with a bolt pattern of 5x114, learning that our cars use a bolt pattern of 5x120 I finally found a site with that size. I'll just post a link, would appreciate it if someone can check it out and let me know if it will fit. Thanks.

Here's a pic of the rim that I took at the warehouse when I seen them.

 

Old post, but can anyone chime in.? Basically will a +35 mm offset rim fit on these cars.?

 

Wrong bolt pattern - sorry . . you knew that.

They would most likely need spacers.

 

The bolt pattern on our cars isn't 5x120 .?

 

Nope. It's 5x120.65.

But really the difference is negligible. 5x120 will fit fine. The offset is where you'll run into trouble, remember the OEM IROC wheel offset was -13 front and 0 in the rear, or it might be the other way around. I can't remember exactly. You'll need spacers with 35 or 40 offset. I'd say 1" or 1.5". Vette wheels use a offset of around 54-56 depending on what wheel you have.

 

No, it's close but not 120mm

Mid size rwd GM (or known as small chevy pattern) Camaro, firebird, monte carlo, nova, chevelle, cutlass, regal, S10, etc is 5 x 4.75"

4.75" = 120.65 mm

120mm = 4.72441"

 

Dang that sucks, I liked these rims. I'm going to see if they come in the right pattern.

Another question, with a positive 35mm offset, that means the inside of the rim is closer to the body of the car right.? With a size 20 rim what clearance issues would that cause.? Or is it mostly just going to lessen my turning radius due to rubbing.? Would the back wheels be ok or it would still need spacers.?

 

Didn't see your reply... So these rims come in 8.5 and 10" width, that makes no difference they still need the spacers either way.?

 

Yup. You'll need spacers. The rears will probably hit the bump stops too being so wide. With my 4th gen rear and C4 Vette saw blades I had to remove the bump stops to get them to fit without rubbing. And they are only 9.5 wide. If I went wider I'd have to cut the bump stop out and hammer in most of the inner fender well.

 

Ok, so it'd probably be better if I went with the 8.5s then right.? I just wanted the 10s cause I figured the wider the rim the deeper the lips would be. But I don't want to do much if any hammering and cutting so I might just get the 8.5s and get the spacers and call it a day.

 

You probably could get 10s to fit without anything major. It's hard to tell how the wheel will fit exactly without it in your hands to look at it.

 

Ok, the main thing is just the spacers right.? I know going with 1.5 inch spacers that would push the rims out 38mm and basically turn the +35mm offset to a -3mm offset. That should work.? And also should I get spacers that are 5x4.75 or that are 5x120.?
