    Dude, 5x5 is !5x5! Yes, Chevy as well as Big Car GM's. Measure your hole spacing. Next time ask a vendor questions and always check high level feedback as well.

    4-LUG Measure center to center of two holes directly across from each other.
    5-LUG Measure from the center on one hole to the BACK of the third hole.This is the easiest way to estimate a 5-lug bolt circle.
    You can also measure from the CENTER of one hole to the CENTER of the third hole using 1.05 multiplier to find your bolt circle.

    6-LUG Measure center to center of two holes directly across from each other.
    8-LUG Measure center to center of two holes directly across from each other.

    Maybe you could just do the beauty rings and add chrome lugnuts?
     
  20. Rather than actual Spider caps, I opted for push through domes and chrome lugs. I wasn't ever sure about screwing the top part to the bottom plate with spider caps. Gets nearly the same look.....

    Good choice .
    I had some spider caps and 2 of them , the center bullit fell off .
    I went with the push through bullits and bullit lugs
    Cleaner look and no problems .
