5 x 4.5"

Is there a way to make a wheel with a 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern fit onto the 4th gen wheel hub (5 x 4.75")? like an adapter or something? ive seen it before, and i like it...a lot...

they look slightly different off the car, but they look identical on the car. Just save yourself the trouble and get the C5's.

yeah dante designs. they called it the vortec 296. it used to be on customwheelsmarket.com and they had it in chrome in 17x9.5 and 18x9.5 with a 5x4.75 bolt pattern. its what i wanted. now all the sudden its not there, and i cant find it anywhere. i realized it was the replica of the cobra 2000 rims (most of their rims are replicas) so thats all i see it as now, and as a 5x4.5 bolt pattern. i saw some adapters on ebay to adapt a 5x4.75 to a 5x4.5 but it was 1.25" thick, i'd be rollin homie style
