    5x120 adapters and GM wheels?

    Saw a set of corvette wheels for cheap that I want to run, but also want the option of running RC090's next year - will the GM 120.65 bolt pattern with wobble bolts work on the BMW bolt pattern 5x120 adapters?

    I would be more apt to get 5x120 adapters and try to run the vette wheels without wobble bolts and try that. Personally I think that .65mm spread over 5 bolt holes 120mm apart is gonna be ok, but I've never tested that theory. If I found some cheap sawblades I'd throw them on my 5 lug car to try it.

        I have never done it, but from reading you shouldn't need wobble bolts. Here is your biggest concern. I wanted to do the same thing, found a setup of dirt cheap Fikse 3 piece Vette wheels for the C5, Center bore is tiny, like 57.1. Prepare to either have the wheel machined or talk to 8380 Labs about a custom hub ring to run on the adapter.....sketchy.

          On a 5x120 car I would say go for it with stock bolts, but on an aluminum adapter that is prone to stripping with the correct bolt pattern I wouldn't do it. If you used wobble bolts/nuts it would be fine though.

          Another thing to look for is the centerbore. Chevy is smaller then BMW, so you would need to get the adapters with Chevy centerbore then run rings when you go with style 5's.

            This. Or do what I did and bore the wheels to 72.6.
