I assume those are the ROH Impala SS look alike wheels? I'm guessing you didn't convert the car to 5x5 just for a set of wheels.

Yep they are! Actually, ROH made a small initial run for GM and then GM outsourced them. So these are "knock-off GM" but made by the the original supplier lol.

As for the bolt pattern, I converted the car to using B-body spindles w/Hotchkis uppers a-arms, and I went with the 5 on 5 Impala SS rotors because they were thicker than using 1LE Camaro ones. I then had the stock rear axles re-drilled for 5 on 5 and had new, longer 1/2 racing studs pressed in at all four corners. I did several other suspension upgrades but with the wheels I did NOT want to run any kind of wheel adapter-this way the wheels bolt right up like stock.
