V6 and V8 Bolt pattern

[97_3800RS]

hey guys, once again I have a question. My brother's car is at the dealership right now getting a new rearend, the mechanic at botnick told him that he had to swap my brothers axles into the new (used) rearend because the bolt pattern was different, is there any chance a z28 would have a diff bolt pattern?

if your talking about where the lugs bolt up, they are the same... from 93-02 is 4 3/4 inch

Their the same, I think the guy is trying to get more money out of him.

we had thought the same, but after some research i found that the center piece between the lugs sticks out fiurther on 99-02's (98's still remained the same) the new rearend was off a 00' V6 . . . and that conflicted with his stock rims.. so that was the problem

If your talking about the hub, all you do is use a dremel and grind the hub down a little. Thats what I had to do worked perfectly.
