Bolt Pattern Question

Hey everyone!

I know our bolt pattern is 120.65 (4.75). However I was told that a 120. would fit our cars also.. Is this true? would it need to be modified? I ask due to a fantastic set of rims for the Trans Am, which are 120

Thanks!

Re: Bolt Pattern Question

they will "work". the debate of whether the side loading of the studs is detrimental, but this is commonly done.

Re: Bolt Pattern Question

Yes, I have 5x120 wheels. But like said above, some will say you will break studs.
Look up BMW wheels on 3rd gens if you can to read more.
