luke_501 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hey guys I need some help. I am looking for a new set of wheels for my 70 monte. But i have no idea the bolt pattern. Everything is stock. i need to know all the information possible so i can get me some wheels. I figure this is an easy question for the car buffs out there. Please help! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCfan Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Luke, My '70 has a 4 3/4" diameter bolt circle with 5 bolts. I believe that is standard for all first generation Montes. Depending on the width of rim and size of tires you want to run, the backspace of the rims you buy will be critical. I use 7" X 15" rally wheels with 4" backspacing on the front and 8" X 15" rally wheels with 5" backspacing on the rear. That allows good tire clearance and the use of 3" deep trim rings all around. I have no experience with the new large-diameter custom wheels, but there are many other members who do if you need advice in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
