Default New wheels...bolt pattern?

Hi everyone,

My tires are 225/70R15, and currently have 15x7 rims...one of them got damaged as i believe the garage didn't fix my bolts properly...

in anycase I just ordered from Eckler's 4 of these onesi could not find a copy of the broken mag... it was a W.R. Grace model)

http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...1969-1982.html

+ these lug nut set (that go together)

http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...1953-1982.html

no where does it mention the bolt pattern. only says 4.25" backspace.

can anyone tell what it's exactly suppose to be based on the above?

Also i was comparing before buying these rims...and i saw Identical ones and some had 4" backspace + 4 3/4" bolt pattern
but nothing from the Eckler site regarding the one i ordered..

also am i missing anything besides these 2 items i ordered? (i already have the original 78 caps)

Thanks as always everyone!

You might also see the bolt pattern listed as 5 x 120.65mm......
which is metric for the 5 x 4.75 that Mike referred to.......

Good luck
