Most are 5 lug on a 4-3/4" diameter. But some of the larger cars had a bigger pattern. I remember always looking for "Intermediate GM" wheels at the Junkyards when I was a kid. Should be the same pattern for Firebird (not a Chevy BTW), Camaro, and Vette. I KNOW some Impalas had a bigger pattern in the 70s and my 95 Caddy is different too.

Do a search online for bolt patterns. I'm sure some wheel company must have this online.

I could be wrong but I think most GM cars are 5 on 5 bolt pattern.

"I could be wrong but I think most GM cars are 5 on 5 bolt pattern."

Actually most GM cars are 5 lug with 4 3/4" bolt circle. It is true that some full size Chevy's had 5 on 5 in the 70's/80's as did some full size Pontiacs, Buicks, Caddy, and Olds, but everything 5 lug from the intermediates down were 5 on 4 3/4's and a majority of the full size over the years were 5 4 3/4 also.

If your vette has 5x5, you need to hunt Bubba down and chat with him
