Wheel Vintiques ?'s
Ok, in their catalog it lists Corvette Ralleys right. Well it lists the lug Pattern as 5 on 4.75. So ok that's cool I have been thinking that is the lug pattern for some time now. And was trying to devise a way to get the Aluminum wheels I have mounted onto my buddies 88 Monte Calro with a 5 x 4.5 lug pattern. Well tonight I decided to measure the one wheel that was off the car. I get 5 x 4.5 as the lug spacing on my 76 Aluminum Wheel so I test fit in on the monte sure enough it fits.
So my question is am I right or am I smoking something. I can't believe that I am measureing the bolt spacing wrong. I spent a whole summer measureing wheels for Hunter Engineering to form a database of wheel commonality, so I doubt that is the problem. Wish I had a copy of that spreadsheet right now.
Who knows which vettes have the 5 on 4.75 and when did it change to 5 on 4.5?
