Stud patterns

[cainchapman 0]

I have a mate who has a high performance Camaro and asked if the stud patterns between the Chevy and 5 series BMW were the same.

Specifically an F body Camaro.

Can any of the wheel experts advise.

Thanks

I'm no wheel expert, but I have seen M3 CSL wheels on a Holden Monaro/Pontiac GTO before.... not sure if that helps!

I am no expert, but I have been told that BMW and Holden stud pattern are the same, so I guess it follows that other GM product is too?

Also I have been told that the 540i has a different sized centre, and wheels need to be specific for that model or need to be lathed to fit.

they are very very close but are slightly different

BMW = 5 x 120 - same as Holden Commodore

Camaro = 5x120.65 - Same as Holden HQ

the two are not compatible, but with a bit of engineering can be made to work

hope this helps

Thanks Johno. I have passed that on.

He is a toolmaker by trade, so he may be able to work with that.

Cheers

i thought the offsets were somewhat different

sorry should have made nyself clearer:

3series BMW & Holden Commodore = compatible

5 series offsets should work on older Camaro's if you alter the pcd slightly.
