Default wheel bolt pattern

..( I thought I just posted this but now I dont see it)
Is there a chart showing wheel bolt patterns on 1st generation to 5th gen, or are they the same..(It's-3/4" right?).. and is Firebirds with the same year the same?? THANKS

I have not seen any chart, but 1st and 2nd gen's are definitely 4-3/4".
Same for Firebirds.

If I remember correctly, the bolt pattern never changed from 1st to 4th gen F-bodies. 5 x 4 3/4 (120.65mm). I can not say for sure on the 5th gens.

Default wheel bolt pattern

Bolt pattern, lug pattern, PCD, or bolt circle refers to the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the lugs on your automobile's wheel.

It's not only the bolt pattern you need to watch for. The wrong backspacing will make or brake a fitment.
Not enough backspacing can leave you with no fender clearance, and too much can mean the wheels won't clear the back of the inner fender without using spacer/adapters.
