Default 5x120.65 on gto

I know the gto uses a 5x120 bolt pattern I was wondering if I had to do anything special to run a 5x120.65. Hub centric rings or should they just bolt up.

If you're going with that brand, just purchase wheels with our bolt pattern...

Because they don't sell them in a 5x120 it's just a 5x4.75 which is 5x120.65

I've seen people with 5x120.65 pattern run 5x120 and have sheared studs. That's my .02 that is enough to keep me away from doing it.

What about running a set of arp studs?

That's my point. Our cars ARE 5x120.65. It's that 5x120s that have people worried about not bolting on correctly. The wheels you linked to are already drilled with our bolt pattern.

****, just realized what your saying. I was thinking Camaro fitment, I'm sorry.

I put 5x120's on my 5x120.65 car, and have no issues. I don't have any experience with going the other way, but I wouldn't be worried myself.

I have been running running 10's on the 5x4 3/4" bolt pattern wheels with no problem and I run some street wheels, same bolt pattern also. I do have ARP studs now, but never had a stock one shear before the arp install. I do not have hub rings. Just do your own tire changing and tighten the bolts gradually in a star bolt pattern. I'm guessing that the .65mm is within the tolerance of the bolt pattern. Make sure you have a torque wrench.
