Um, what car would these be going on? That info is kinda useful for folks to help you determine how wide a wheel will fit without rubbing.

That's 5x 120,65mm (4,75 Inch)

While for example BMW rims with 5x120 will "fit", you might brake something or everything - bolts, studs, rims, your neck - sooner or later!

Ed: Wasn't that even 5x5" in 1973? You measured it, you'll know.

Absolute correct fitment is gonna be 5x127mm with a 3mm offset to give the wheels a deeper dish, going for 15x7" crager traditional smoothies...
