Bolt pattern?
The GTO shares the same bolt pattern as the f-body correct? I planned on using the Gto spare wheels (not temp.tire) for some front runners. They don't seem to fit all the way up to the rotor. Thanks.

They aren't the same but they bolt right up with no problems. Just have to watch the hub. My GTO's wheels had to be dremeled to fit on a T/A. Once that was done, no problems. My WS6 wheels bolted right up to the back with no problems. They were pretty much perfect offset also. But they wouldn't work up front.

Ive ran 02 v6 camaro wheels on the rear at the track and they bolted right up so IDK.... Ive only used a set for the rear so if they dont fit the front IDK... I assumed if they fit for me in the rear they would be the same 4 way round.....

There was a guy on LS1GTO that had two of his WS6 wheels narrowed to 8" and he had no problems with them on the front.

5x120mm for the GTO/ G8, Bimmers - 5x120.65 (4.75") for the standard small GM bolt pattern. The difference is infantessimal, but some people will tell you that you are taking your life in your own hands by swapping them out. Really the backspacing is what you have to look out for.

Thanks, I was asking because I got a set of you guys(04-06 gto) spares for front runners on my T/A. With new rubber of course. I tried mounting one and it didn't seem like it wanted to fit right?

Yeah for some reason the 5x4.75 will work on the gto with right offset but our wheels have to be dremeled to fit camaro/ta guys. I have been running my 15x3.5 & 15x8 5x4.75 draglites for a while never had any problems. Its just like using wrenches and sockets. For example the 10mm and 3/8" are close but not exact.

The wheels will indeed "bolt up", however, the conical face of the lugnut will not mate properly with the corresponding conical seat in the wheel. The lugnut will be making a line contact instead of a face contact when using the 5x4.75" wheel on a 5x120mm hub (and vice versa). Basically, you'll be creating a stress concentration and increasing the likelihood of bending or otherwise breaking the lug, which is something you don't want to have happen.
