Hubcentric rings have nothing to do with the bolt pattern and spacing. The bolt pattern for the f-bodies is 5 x 4.75", which is also 5 x 120.65mm.
The diameter of the hub is a different measurement. Manufacturers will provide a hubcentric ring to make one size wheel hub fit multiple axle hubs, but it won't change the bolt pattern or spacing.
There have also been a few documented cases of wheels coming off of the axle when people bolt a wheel with a 120mm bolt spacing onto an axle that has a bolt spacing of 120.65mm. The tapered lug nut doesn't fully seat and can back off.

x>1" between front and rears typically throws ABS. For example a 27 rear and stock 26 front diameter... even .5<x<1" still can effect ABS on some scenerios.
If ABS is an issue, you can remove it...it doesn't effect normal braking. If' you've never felt your brake pedal pulse, then you've never used ABS. No sense in having to work around ABS if you don't need to. For our cars, the typical user that is driving and modding them...especially on the boards, most really never use ABS or need it. It appears to be more of a hinderance then help.
We do have kits available that enable you to delete your ABS as well as the bracket holding it.
