they dont fit unless you ream out the lug holes. gtos have a different bolt pattern than fbodys. if you ream out the lug holes there is no way to tell if the wheels will stay on.

Well they DO fit actually sr. I put one on the camaro but u need a spacer to make them look right. There is tons of people running them specially on vetts here is a link

U just have to have a good tire wich is what I'm looking for , M&H is good but like 200 each lol

The OP of the vett forums is here also hopefully he chimes in cause I need to know the size of the tire.

well making them fit and them fitting properly are 2 different things. GTO bolt pattern is 5-120 and fbody and vettes are 5-4.75. they are very close however they are NOT the same. so you can put them on there but the lugs do not seat properly. therefore if you want to risk you wheel falling off because your lugs backing out be my guest.

look man would you put a 300 shot on a stock block? i wouldnt. sure it will run and everything but something is going to give because the engine is not built for it. fbodies are not built for gto wheels so something is going to give. have you ever seen a wheel that has been wallowed out from a wheel being on a vehicle with a different bolt pattern? i have, many many times. its pretty bad.
i think the spacers the vetts are using are also adapters, which is what i would do if i was going run a gto spare.

You're right.... 120mm is not 4.75in. It is 4.724 in. They will be fine as far as a bolt pattern. Fbody guys have been using BMW bolt pattern wheels for YEARS
