  • will this work

    Hey guys,
    i wanna get some new wheels for my car. i was gonna go with the tsw vairano. i know the bolt pattern is 5X120. my fren said i should look for the center bore and see if it will fit before i do anything. does anyone know if this will work?

    I did a quick search and saw that the bolt pattern is 5x100. That conflicts with your 5x120. Thats for what its worth. I don't know if they'll fit, and am thinking they won't.

      Im not sure what kind of car you have, but 4th gen bolt pattern is 5 on 4.75" or in metric: 5 on 120.65mm. What size wheel are you looking at?

          basically what i am looking for is an answer to this question. if the wheel is available in the same bolt pattern as my car, will it fit?

            Camaro bolt pattern: 5x120.65
            TSW bolt pattern: 5x120

            Some say that will fit properly, others say it won't.

              Do you know the diameter, width and offset of the wheel, or maybe a link?

                  That won't look good without some spacers. With such a low offset, it will be tucked into the fender quite a bit. You may have some rubbing problems on the inside as well.

                  NTM 120mm and 120.65mm are different sizes. You can make them fit, but different people will tell you different things on whether it's safe or not.

                        Make sure the hub diameter is the same or get bushings to adapt them. the wheels register on the hubs and the bolts hold the rim to the car. If the wheel has a larger diameter the lugnuts will work lose. Of course if the wheel has a smaller diameter they won't fit.

                            If you need nice lug nuts , Gorilla lug nuts are really nice , I picked some up for mine and installe them on the rear. I don't remember where though? LOL But they are chrome and were about $50.

                              High offset mean the wheel will be tucked in more. The higher the offset, the more the wheel is tucked in. The lower the offset, the more the wheel will stick out.

                              Those wheels 18x8 with 35mm offset will fit, but will they fit properly? Who knows lol
