Which wheels work with 5 lug conversion?
I searched but maybe my phone is lacking in that area. If i were to swap to 5 lug hubs what wheels would work? I am guessing that V2 wheels would work but what about Corvette wheels?

I believe the offset on stock Vette wheels are crazy high, upwards of +50 for the front and +70 in the rear. That alone would make them useless on a V due to our trailing arm setup. You'd want to be somewhere the range of +40 to +50 for the offset on the V wheels.
But at that point, you could pretty much run any 5 x 114.3 wheels, which would leave you with thousands of options.

Except that Vettes are 5x4.75", which is 5 x 120.65mm. Lots of Bimmer options in 5x120, which could be made to work.

I would say more like +35 to +45mm. The Team Dynamics 18x9s are +38mm. Stock 8.5" wheels are +42mm. The Linea Corsa 10" rears are +47mm (which is generally considered a bit too much due to the trailing arm issues).

v2 wheels = no go, different bolt pattern. (although I wish they would fit, I think they would look awesome on the v1)
There are several pics of guys with corvette z06 front wheels on all 4 corners. I don't recall if they still required spacers or not though.

Wow GM went with a different bolt pattern on the V2? That stinks. There is a Firebird here locally that has V2 wheels he must be using adapters. I have C5 Z06 wheels on my 70 Chevelle.
