Re: what all cars & Trucks will the wheels fit?
Seemingly after many searches it seems to me you'd want offsets close to 13mm rear, 38mm front, where it should vary by less than 10mm / 1cm for a good looking fit.
As for the bolt pattern, BMWs are 5 - 120 or 4.724" and old Syclone is 5 - 120.65 or 4.75". Both will fit where I've just made sure to check the torque w/ torque wrench on the BMW rims every so often for the setup I got. The 3 series and 5 series models rims work just check the offsets as they all differ making it sometimes are to match front and rear when buying a complete set,

just :2cent: the only current GM Vehicle to use the traditional standard 4.75 bolt pattern now is the Corvette & its Caddilac Cousin. Everything else has gone to metric, even the 8 lug trucks.

So are there any interesting Caddilac rims that would fit?

Only Ford 8-170, Chevy and Dodge are still listed as 8-6.5, now the aftermarket wheels may say 8-165.10 but the truck its self is still standard pattern.

Did they tell you a pattern? Cause all my '08 stuff still has it as standard and I haven't got an '09 book yet.

See cause some of these wheel places don't really know shit and just read off web sites like this
http://www.custom-wheels-spinning-rims.com/Chevrolet.htm
which states every car is metric, you and I know that's b.s. Yeah you can convert the pattern to a metric number, doesn't mean it was built that way.
