I need a technical wheel guy. Anybody know what these wheels will fit?

The specs are
Enkei 15" with center caps. 8.5" wide rims with 5 lug 4.75 bolt pattern and 3.5" backspacing.

I got a great deal on tires and rims, but I only bought them for the tires. The seller said they were on a 77 Vette?

Is that correct and will they fit any chevy???

thanks!
Finoke

The 4.75 bolt circle is correct for older GM cars and some light trucks and the backspacing is about right for generic rear wheel drive applications.

5 on 4.75 pattern will fit most GM cars except the biggest ones that use a 5 x 5.00 pattern. On a '77 Vette I would think those wheels stuck out of the wheel openings.

5 lug 5 1/2" bc is for ford pickup, 4x4s including scout, jeep, international, dodge, early ford to 1948 [excluding the "wide 5 pattern] and was used on a few import pickups also, i believe.

are you measuring the width from the bead or the edges of the rim?

Measured from the width of the bead.
