Too good to be true????

Ok, I emailed a couple places just to see what they would say about this, and only one has gotten back to me. This is what they said:

IF YOU HAVE A 93 UP CAMARO YOU CAN USE THESE WHEELS WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT YOU WILL NEED HUB RINGS FOR THE CAR, THE HUB RINGS WILL STOP VIBRATION ISSUES AND 5X120 YOU CAN USE BECAUSE YOUR CAR COMES WITH 12X1.5 STUDS AND THE HOLE OF THE WHEELS IS 14X1.5 WHICH MAKES IT BIG ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH


what do you guys think?

I would have to agree with some of the others in saying that the 5-120 won't work right.

Studs going through a 5-120.65mm wheel will be "centered" in the holes (which will allow the lugnut to seat correctly) whereas the studs going through a 5-120 will be riding against the side of the hole instead of centered. That's just how I see it...again, i'm not a wheel expert.

Getting even more technical:

120.65mm = 4.75 inches or (12.065 centimeters)

120mm = 4.72441 inches or (12.0 centimeters)
Very close but yet different.

The only thing I get out of what that email reply you posted said is that the holes on the 5-120 rims are very large (more so than say what our factory wheels are.) Maybe these "hubrings" they are talking make the holes only big enough for "your" studs to fit through so the lugnuts can seat properly. Heck, just ask the guy if he offers some sort of guarantee in writing that those rims will fit. Good luck
