Hope this helps...

Late models use 5 lugs on a 4 3/4" (120.7mm) circle, other cars include:

Buick: Regal, Century, Special (most mid-size) '64-'80's
Chevrolet: most RWD, through 1/2 ton vans and trucks (includes S-10 and 4WD models) 1949-2005
Corvette all
Jaguar XJ, XK '69 - up
Oldsmobile: 442, Cutlass, F-85, Toronado (most mid-size) '60's-'80's
Pontiac: GTO, LeMans, Firebird, Grand Prix (mid size) '64-'80's
Note: Although the wheels used on some BMW's are almost the same size, they are actually a 5 lug on 120mm bolt circle, which is 4.72 inches
