Default 5x120 Hub Centric Rings?

So I purchased a set of 5x120 bolt pattern wheels. I havent yet test fit anything but I was told I would need Hub Centric Rings because the original bolt pattern on F-Bodies is 5x120.6 mm...

I'm not looking for any spacers, where would I find just the Hub Centric Rings I need and more importantly, what kind and specs will I need?

Edit: After doing more research it appears this is only important if the hub bore is larger than the actual wheel hub.

What is the diameter of the hub on a 99 LS1 Camaro?
The Hub bore of my wheels are 74.1mm
Will I need Hub Centric Rings?

I'm actually looking at the same thing for my TA.
Hub centric-rings is the site I'm looking at.
I haven't measured mine yet but I do have aftermarket corvette rims so I'm hoping there is a gap and the rings will fix my vibration issues.

Google says your car has a 70.3 hub diameter.

will I need a hub centric ring for the remaining 3.8mm space?

Edit: Is it 70.3 for front and rear or just the front?

Will this work?

70.3 is all four, I don't think I've found a vehicle that has different front and rear hub sizes.

Those would be exactly what you need

The 4th gen, LT-1 powered F-bodies ('93-'97), had different size hubs, F&R.....at least my '96 did.

So you couldn't rotate your tires because the bores on your wheels were different sizes?

No, the wheels were sized to fit the larger of the two hubs. And YES, that was the way it came from the factory, and YES, I was the original owner of the car.


In fact, back in '99, when I ordered a set of CCW wheels for the car, they asked me if I had the different sized hubs on the car, so it was pretty well known....

I can't say I ever seen that before on a non high-end car. That's really odd that they would do that.

Leadfoot is right. The 96 and 97 LT1's had different hubsizes on the rear because it was the year they were transitioning to the LS1 but still used the LT1 and they were trying things. That's why I was concerned because I knew about this issue

I have a 99 Camaro that I got hubcentric rings for and I got them with the I.D.(inner diameter) being 70.3 for all four corners. I got them from the website Smoove mentioned and I have had no issues.

I know this is old, but what are the hub sizes then (front and rear) for a 1997 camaro? Thank you.
