Your car looks awesome!

The BMW wheels look great! But I have heard conflicting stories as to the longevity of it. BMW have a 120MM bolt circle and your Camaro have 120.65MM. I know what is .65MM difference going to make? I do not know? How are they working out for you?

Thanks.

There's a chevelle on pt.com running those wheels, he has had them on there for like 4 years and raced the cars numerous times going triple digets and hasent had any problems also lots of 4th gen cars run wheels meant for gto's.

But I do recall there was a thread here before with some engineers showing data about it not being safe.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

You're correct, .65mm is equal to .0255" . It does put some stress on the studs, I am running ARP extnted studs and a custom 1/2" & 1" hub & wheel centric spacer made for these wheels..Some people had issues with the wheel nuts loosing up,

I haven't had that happen. I also have been checking the lugs after each drive so far and all is good. I may get flamed here... But I would also say "how accurate" are some of the lower end wheel's bolt hole spacing people run and have no issues? I hope it works out if not I'll have wheel adaptors made. And thanks for the complement

These are supposed to work. Varinuts, they are about 1/4 of the way down the page. I am sure somebody makes these with inch measure treads. I do not know anybody that has used them.
