[cluelesscarnut]

does anyone know what the pcd and wheel centrebore is for a corvette?i ask because im looking for some centrelock hubs for my bmw and was told that the corvette ones are same pcd so just checking first.told the mosler is the same

I've looked this up before - I think you need to be careful since from memory there's something like 0.25mm difference in the PCD so it may put funny strain on the studs - if you search on here for corvette offset you might find the original posts.

The Mosler will probably have Corvette PCD as opposed to BMW too, since it uses a significant number of Corvette parts in its construction.

Not sure it is of any help, but I have Breyton wheels on my C5 that are a bmw pcd and fit without machining!

These dimensions apply for Corvettes up to and including the C5. [For some reason C6 is different]

PCD (diameter of a circle through the five wheel bolts) is 120.6 mm

Centre Bore (diameter of hub centre) is 70.5 mm

If you are looking for other wheels that fit there's not a great deal of choice. Jaguar XJ6 wheels have a similar stud pattern [PCD 120.65 and centre bore 74.1] but require a spigot ring inserted to convert the centre bore diameter. Many BMW wheels also come quite close although they aren't all the same [PCD 120.0 and centre bore 72.5]. Don't forget Corvette needs a big diameter of wheel rim to clear the brake calipers. There also the question of "offset" which must not be forgotten.
