I have a 79 bu wagon and I already have greg welds for it, but I also want a set of 17" for cruising. There are some wheels that I really like that are more import style so there bolt pattern is listed in mm. How does that effect my wheel selection for my wagon. Any help would be awesome.

alright, so I should be able to sqeeze a 5 x 120 on my wagon then right might have to open the wheels a tiny tiny bit. Whats the bolt pattern on the new GTO cause I see wheels listed for it in the 5x120 and in the 5x4.75????
You may not need to do anything to the wheels... have you ever looked at a ruler to see how small a millimeter (let alone .7) is???
G-bodies are lug centric. The lug nuts center the wheels on the hubs. Import cars are often hub centric, the hub centers the wheel. .7 mm is enough to put the wheel offcenter, especially if you try to mod the wheel to get it to fit. I know people that have tried to use metric wheels. You may go nuts trying to get the "out of balance wheel" fixed, just like they did. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just letting you know of the potential issues involved.

I did not know this 
So would it make a difference if I used a set of wheel spacers/adapters that were hub-centric? I don't know if the lugs on them would be enough to center the wheels.

I've found both (more lug centric than hub centric) on eBay, but I'm thinking hub centric adapters would do a better job of helping carry the weight of the car.
