damn near ANY GM 5 lug wheel will fit. GM has used the same bolt pattern for 40+ years.

Bolt pattern is the same but the offsets are way different. Ive seen irocs on a 4th gen and they stick out...a lot!! lol. but they do fit as for the 91-92 rims not too sure.

Thats one example thats different, as is the newer cars. GTO, G8, etc. Yea, they fit, but the pattern is different. 5x120mm vs 5x120.65 I believe.

5x120 would fit fine. i previously had 18" SSR comps on my car for 3 years with no problems at all with 5x120 bmw fitments. I drove it for 30k+ miles and several mid 12 sec passes at the track with no problems

Maybe you just can't read very well, but I said, "they fit, BUT the pattern is different." I never said they wouldn't fit or work fine, I just said it IS a different pattern that is used on newer GM vehicles.

S10 is the same, but the trucks all the way to 98 had 5 lug...Only since 99 have they all been 6.

S10s and f-bodies are the same bolt pattern. 88-98 1500 2 wheel drive trucks were 5 lug and i believe the 88-98 1500 4 wheel drive trucks were six lug. 2500 and 3500 series were 8 lug on 2 and 4 wheel drives. Correct me if I am wrong.

hey squee!!

Jeez. Sorry dude. I didnt mean to offend you but I was just confirming that they work fine. I was just sharing my personal experience with using a 5x120 bolt pattern for those who may want to know. I dont see why you gotta take thing so personal!?!?!
