Will corvette Z05 rims fit on 08 Impala SS?
I found a nice looking pair that was 5x4.75 inch. I believe the impala's to be 5x115, but I can only find the reading in mm!! Its an american car not a foreign car so why does it have to be in mm! Does any company make an adapter? Thanks for the help

Unless you get blanks and have them custom drilled they're never going to fit. 5x114.3 = 5 1/2x5 and most will agree that 114.3x5 and 115x5 are interchangeable, but 5 3/4 = 120 mm...if you can get blanks I think the front ones would work all the way around...IIRC they're 18x8.5 on the C6Z and 17x8.5 on the C5Z

Ok, this will probably sound crazy, but how much work would it be to swap the hub on the car? I am not that talented of a mechanic (if you couldn't already tell). The main reason is to have the brake caliper and drilled rotor for looks, and if its the same size hub then should't the corvette rims bolt right on?

there's no off the shelf hub to use that I was able to find when I went through all this...I'm still deciding on my next Rim/Tire combo to fit over the Camaro brembo's...gettting really sick of my snow tires
Let me know if you locate the C6Z wheels as blanks! I really want them! I'll hook you up on getting them drilled if you ship them directly to me and then I'll send you them drilled for 5x115

plus the Vette Rims have a much lower offset, that they'd never fit with a spacer without widened fenders especially in back. they have a "built in spacer" if you will compaired to the stock rims...
only option is the blanks, I've spent hours researching wheel and tire combo's for this car and I'm leaning toward a 19x8.5 possibly 19x9 in front with offset similar to the stock front GXP wheels (18x8.5 +32mm)
