before you get 20 replies about using the search thread (or possibly a sticky at the top of the "Wheels & Tires" forum).... yes they fit. However, the correct pattern for f-bodys is 5x120.65mm or 5x4.75in. I would strongly suggest you stick with the chevy bolt pattern.

yea i just searched i just didnt see anything for sure on it.

They will bolt on, but technically they are the incorrect bolt pattern.
It's purely up to you, if you want to try it. I don't recommend it, but 0.65 mm is a very tiny increment of measure.

If you want to read some intelligent discussions on this topic without having to worry about stepping on anyone's toes, I highly recommend doing a search over on LS1GTO.com. We have been having this discussion for quite some time with opinions freely stated on both sides of the topic. I had 120.65mm bolt circle C6 Z06 rims on my 120mm bolt circle GTO with no problems. Those same rims are now going on my TA.
From what Xsta said in other posts and other communications, there is supposed to be a thread about a vehicle having the lugs fail. I did a search and could not find it. Maybe he will share the thread with us.
Good luck!

I said the truth, and was fair in all of my statements.

I really would like to see some pics of that car that had all 5 lugs fail at one time due to variance in bolt circle that you mentioned in another post.

First off, I would like to say that I doubt Xsta is going to delete the thread because he doesn't like what you are saying. In his original comment in this thread, Xsta simply stated that 5-120 is NOT the correct bolt pattern for the vehicle and that although it would physically fit, and it will, it is not recommended to use the incorrect bolt pattern. Second, other members have stated very similar opinions on the matter in this same thread. No one is saying that there is a 100% guarantee that the wheels are going to fall off. We are just trying to make sure that anyone with this question is fully aware of the consequences of using the wrong bolt pattern. You have clearly stated that you've previously used a 5-120.65 bolt pattern wheel on your 5-120 vehicle without any problems at all. I'm sure there are thousands of people that do it every day without any trouble as well. We have stated that it isn't recommended, from a technical stand point, to interchange these bolt patterns due to the possibility that it could cause the studs to break. Now, we've all stated our minds and everyone else that is considering doing this can make up their own mind.

Please let me bow down to you my master
I left this post alive on purpose so thay you could have provided your intellegent answers to this subject. And how you dissappoint me.

Well don't want to get flamed but here is my experiance. I believe my HP Evo's have the "incorrect" pattern, it is close but not exactly. I got the hub centering rings.....they were only like $10 for four and that is supposed to correct the problem
So I have had the Evo's on KDW II's for a year now with about 10K in miles. I check them about every month and each time I checked them I have never found one to be loose. I will not say yours will or won't come loose but in a years time mine has been ok. I am using Gorilla lugs if that matters. Goodluck.

If you just had something like a sloppy class III thru-hole in the wheels then it wouldn't really be an issue. However, when you have a countersink hole and cone seat lugs, then the lug nut will attempt to center the wheel to the wheel stud as its tightened. Because of this, if your wheel stud pattern is far enough off it will actually preload your wheel studs in or out depending on whether the pattern you're trying to adapt is larger or smaller.
As Andy stated above, its only 0.65mm so its not a big difference, but why take chances when there are literally thousands of wheel designs that are available in 5x120.65 bolt circle? Of course, my comment doesn't even take into account proper hub bore diameter, which this other wheel may or may not have.

might be worth looking into
