I have a 92 Chevrolet S-10. V8, 6 speed. 5X120.65 PCD, 70.3 hub bore.
GM’s 5X120.65 bolt pattern is the weakest PCD of all time. I want a USED set of 3PC wheels. Finding used wheels that will work for my specific application is TOUGH.
I’m looking for a mesh style wheel. BBS RS, CCW LM20, Work VS-XX, etc. I prefer “Y’s”, not “V’s”. I’d be OK with a 5 spoke wheel. Work Equip, Leon Hardiritt Kloster, OZ Mito 3’s, etc.
I’d like 17’s or 18’s. I’d prefer 18’s.
FRONT: I'd like 8” front wheels with 0 offset. Would be OK with up to 9.5” with +5.
REAR: I’d like 10” rear wheels with 0 offset. Would be OK with up to 11” with –13.
I don’t want to run spacers or adapters anymore. DONE with them.
I consider BMW 5X120 wheels all the time, but usually the widths/offsets aren’t optimum for me. And that .65mm difference bothers me. Correctable with wobble nuts though. 72.5mm or 74mm BMW hub bores are easily correctable with hub centric rings.
I bought a set of BBS RS 211 faces, only to find out that the perimeter bolts scrape on my C5 corvette calipers. Rears fit fine. But don’t want to run 6mm or 13mm spacers or adapters on the fronts. Pretty sure even 17” RS faces would have the same problem. Back to square one.
I found a set of OZ Mito 3’s that I considered picking up, but the main factor that has me leery of OZ wheels is the high cost of replacement lips/barrels; higher than replacement RS or Work lips/barrels for some reason. And I’m not sure their wheel face bore is any bigger than the BBS RS’es.
Recently I’ve been considering 5X114.3 wheels – it seems like 3 out of 4 forged/split wheels are 5X114.3. I find more often that used 5X114.3 wheels are more near the 0 and negative offset range I’m looking for. This would necessitate me changing my bolt pattern with a bolt pattern jig 5X120.65 to 5X114.3 – no problem. But a lot of 5X114.3 wheels have hub bores smaller than 70.3. Bleh.
To summarize, I’m looking for any of the following:
A) A magic set of 5X120.65 wheels that meet my above FRONT/REAR specs
B) A set of 5X120.65 faces for $600 or so and I can buy lips/barrels to meet my specs
C) A set of 5X120 wheels that meet my specs and run wobble nuts
D) A set of 5X114.3 wheels that meet my specs and have a 70.3 or greater hub bore
Like the title says, any advice that you can provide is so very appreciated. Have I missed anything? Thank you SW!
