A Chevrolet Bel Air (1955–1970) uses a 5x120.65 or 5x127 PCD and a centre bore of 70.3 or 78.1 mm.
Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.
Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 70.3 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 70.3 mm.
Fixings: thread -, tightened to 100 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
