Default C7 Bolt Pattern

Does anyone know if a 5X120.7 bolt pattern will fit on a 2018 Z51? Not many threads out there regarding this subject. OEM Bolt pattern for Stingrays is 5X120.65!

You must realize that the difference is only 0.05 mm. That's 0.002 inch! That's roughly the thickness of a human hair.

I've no idea what you are considering putting on your car, but there is much more to "correct" fit than bolt-pattern (which you probably realize). In any event, you need the same hub-hole sizes and adequate brake clearance, apart from wheel diameter, width, and off-set. Ever seen a wheel break or fly off at speed? Just be careful.

Lugs are cheap. I would stick with OEM spec.
