4th Gen Camaro/Firebird owners with after market wheels?

[300bhp/ton]

Specifically does anyone have BMW or BMW fitment alloys on their 4th Gen Fbody? I'm lead to believe they are the correct PCD, or at least within 0.6mm.

However I'm not certain about the hub centre. I'd like to get some new alloys for mine and move to a more common UK tyre size. But I don't want to pull the trigger until I'm 100% convinced they'll fit.

Thanks.

If it`s any use I have Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s on my 1999 Z28.

They`re a 5x120 are 17x9 and have are ET45 offset. I have a thin 5mm spacer on the rear. Car sits fine.

All centre bores for these cars are 70.3.




I have taken my wheels off and at no time did I think the .6mm made any difference to the bolts. That`s not to say that I`ve to be taken at my word as I didn`t put them on. I`ve `heard` some have sheared but never `actually` witnessed it. The internet is full of conflicting $hit so go with what you feel is right mate.

Looks really good. What size tyres did you go for? I was going to get some wobble nuts just to make sure for the .6mm but in truth I'd need new wheel nuts no matter the rims.

So, did you get some new wheels?

Yes. Guess I should have posted it up

Looking good.

Are those a normal BMW size then? Did you have to space them?

The are standard BMW PCD of 5x120, technically the Camaro is 5x120.65 but I have been unable to find any info to actually confirm if there is a difference between them, as the Camaro would actually have been 4.75" I think and you get the .65 when you convert to metric.

I also haven't been able to find if wheel makers who offer both PCD's actually offer the exact same one labelled differently.

I'm currently using the standard wheelnuts, although I have some wobble nuts too. But when using them you need to make sure the wheel aligned on the hub correctly rather than just relying on the nuts to do it.

I've also got (but still need to fit) some hub adapter rings to make the centre bore of the rim match the vehicle and make them hubcentric.


Not running any spacers, but do research offsets and rim widths. It really puggled me, but I got there in the end. These are ET32, although I think ET38 would have worked slightly better (but wasn't available).
