I am sure the pattern is different. I read this 2 weeks ago and cannot recall the source now. I believe they said the studs and the stud pattern diameter is different. They went to 5x120.65 No doubt a change has been made. I'll see if I can track source down.

Thanks for responding but I need to know 100% with no doubt I can’t bolt the c6/7 bolt pattern on c8 . Thanks
The lug bolt size has increased from the C7's 12MMX1.25MMto14X1.5MM (as we expected since the Camaro ZL1 1LE did). As a consequence, the C8's wheel holes that surround the lug nuts, had to have their inside-diameter be increased.
I read an online report from a good source about 3 weeks ago.. I have been searching to find this link for the last 3 days. The article contradicts the numbers listed above. C8 and C7 wheels cannot be swapped. The article I am looking for says a 120.67mm stud diameter with 14MM studs. I will continue to look.

Assuming the bolt circle is the same any quality wheel repair shop could re drill the wheels for a minimal cost to fit the 14mm stud.
If the bolt circle isn’t the same and the diameter grew almost .7 mm. You would have to have the tires dismounted and the wheels taken to a machine shop. They would have to set up a mill on the bolt circle and use an end mill to put the new size in for the studs. You can’t just drill the holes.
Before this is done you need to make sure that the structural integrity isn’t compromised in any way.

Why not wait until the car is in hand and in stock before you order something. Seems like a huge a gamble to order wheels without knowing 100% for sure of the actual stud size, bore size and bolt circle.
Is C8 wheel bolt pattern same as C7 ?
