how do we know which one ours is? Is one pattern for years 1967-1992? and then 1992 plus? Not trying to be a smart *** but this sticky doesn't help with some explaination in it.

Well first off this is LS1 Tech, so it invariably my post automatically applies to ALL LS1 equipt cars . . .

But:

5 x 4.75" is the INCH equivalent of 5 x 120.65 mm . . . . .

Every five bolt wheel on a Camaro since 1967 is the same bolt pattern. . .

The Metric Lugnut size is applicable to probably mid 80's plus . . . .

GM has been using the same 5 bolt pattern on the Camaros, Fullsized Cars and such for YEARS, I.E.

My 67 Chevelle had the same bolt Circle as my 81 Camaro . . . ?

67 to 81 are 7/16" wheelstuds.

82 to 02 are 12mm wheelstuds.

Very true. I know there are wheel adapter companies that make units that change the bolt pattern, the major issue is that the adapters are typically 1" or greater in thickness and it is getting everything to still fit under the wheel well.
