I have had the black zr1 rims on my truck since the first day i bought it which was over 6 years ago. I am looking to change them out and i don't know which ones will fit with out using spacers and hub centric rings. I do not want any corvette rims anymore. I like the bbs web style which i know a lot of companies make them.

What hub size am i looking for, is it 56mm? Also if anyone has a set that fits my search let me know or if they see any on line please let me know.

thanks

It will help you get the correct offset/backspacing setup. Just make sure you are on front or rear. And the hub diameter is 2.7X" and is the corvette and older camaro hub sizes. 5th gen camaros have a smaller diameter hub (2.6") so pay attention to that.

Danen - thanks so much for the info I do appreciate it. I guess im trying to make it easier for me if possible and ask if anyone has searched in the past or recently and have narrowed it down to which rims out there besides corvettes fit.

I have been on ebay and other random rim shop web sites and even called a few and with no luck. It seems that we are limited to corvette rims OR one or two others that aren't the style i want. I really cant stand my rims anymore.

You can use BMW as well, they're pattern is close enough.

Look for 1 or 3 series for the front, and 5, 6, or 7 series for the rears.

Thats cool, because alot of those higher series have lips on their wheels!!! :)

I wonder if any of the 1 and 3's match the 5,6, or 7's for a set that doesnt look funny ---

'90s and up. You'll need to keep an eye on the pattern measurement.

4.75 inch * 25.4 mm per inch = 120.65 mm

Many BMWs have a 5 lug 120 mm pattern.

Here's one with the right pattern; I can't vouch if the backspacing is right.

Yeah BMW hasn't changed their bolt pattern in a bagillion years so if it's 5 lug 99.9% chance it's 5-120.

Many do, you just have to do some searching to find a matching pair, not hard, just leg work.

Vinnie if you find some you like post them up and I can take a look at them give you an idea if they'll work or not.

I have milli miglia 5 spokes on my truck. I think they were geared towards BMW. I wanted something different besides corvette rims. Can't wait to see what you put on your truck Vinny!
