so was just looking for wheels and came accross a good deal on some 20x9" axis "penta"wheels with the 5x120mm lug... but would prefer 18x9s and 18x8 in front ... but i just want to knowif these fit my chevelle was told a while back that they would... they were only a hair smaller but i thought i should ask..what do you guys think about these wheels

120mm= 4.7244 inches. Wheel lug bolt pattern for a 69 chevelle is 4.75 inches. Bigger issue may be the back spacing.

bmw wheels fit on there no promblem. only thing is for bmw they make em with a lot of neg off set. so when u put them on the velle they looked to far in by like a 1" or 2" easy

there is a mid eighties BMW at a local tire shop, they sold the original wheels, and pushed on some Pontiac Rally II's. They don't really fit.

BMW wheels have positive offsets.

On a 9" wide wheel,+44mm offset equates to 6.75" backspacing. Zero offset would be 5".
