How much is .7 mm??

I found a set of wheels pretty cheap to use as a back up...the offset is 5x120mm. The Vette offset is 5x120.7mm. How can I make these fit?

25.4 mm in an inch

.7/25.4 = .02755 inch

That difference is so small you wouldnt even notice.

Theyll fit with no problems as long as its a GM lug pattern.

That's between 1/32" & 1/64"....I doubt that your corroded stock wheels have that close a tolerance now.

Go for it!

Corroded! Corroded?!? Hell I hope not

Callaway wants 1900/each for them

Cool. I was just reading up...basically any 5 bolt pattern with 5x120mm pattern will fit the car.

Sweet!

How the heck does OFFSET get expressed as 5X120mm?????? As your diagram illustrates, that sounds like a spec for a BOLT pattern.

Offset is the distance from the back part of the wheel that sits against the hub or rotor, to the centerline of the rim. There are both positive and negative offsets, but it is a single dimension, like 4.5" or 55mm.

IF the bolt pattern will fit the hub, there IS offset to consider. GOOD luck, and...

RACE ON!!!
