Why so many 5-120 wheels not enough 5-120.65 wheels I'm looking for a nice set of wheels, but wheels that I find is a 5-120mm wheel. 98-02 F Body's use a 5-120.65mm wheel. I see other members putting them on their vehicle. How is this done? Please educate me on this. Some of the wheels I'm looking at are XXR 521, RPM 505, TSW Valencia, Koing Lace, Ruff 951 And Prvat Netz. Most of these wheels look the same and they all are 5-120mm wheels WHY WHY WHY????

Pure gayness.
I wanted an 18" wheel with a 5x4.75" pattern. I could have used 5x120. That selection sucks donkey dicks...unless you want to spend $3-4k for a set of wheels. It was gay looking china made dub city turd burglar wheels or American racing TTII's.
So today, I broke down and decided to order a set of Center Line 15's and stay with the hot rod look...so to speak.

the 120 wheels will work find as long as they are hubcentric and not lugcentric... as long as they have the little lip inside for the hub to sit into and center them, you will have no problems.. however, if you put a lugcentric rim on there with that slightly different pattern then you could run into problems... im sure there will be someone in here to disagree but there is a difference...

Thanks Guys, I'm serious thinking about the Konig but If anyone has a better looking wheel similar to does design I would love to see. I can do the 18-9.5 on the rear not sure how big of a tire I can use.
