These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 1999 Chevrolet Corvette. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 31 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Recorded OEM bolt pattern, center bore, and width/offset ranges overlap. This is not a guarantee that every wheel from the donor year fits this vehicle.

Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 1999 Chevrolet Corvette is M12x1.5. This donor year is recorded as 1/2"-20UNF. That is the vehicle stud/nut thread, not an intrinsic thread stamped on the wheel. Hardware must match this vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat and engagement. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not in this dataset, so products are not a verified fit.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Precomputed data suggested a spacer; geometry was re-checked against OEM envelope. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (1/2"-20UNF on the donor year vs M12x1.5 on the target vehicle). Hardware must match the target vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not confirmed in this dataset.

The specifications below are the confirmed values we have for this model year. Corvette fitment can vary by axle and trim. If your vehicle uses a staggered setup or special edition wheels, verify both axles using the on-page calculator and your OEM sources like the door-jamb tire placard and the owner’s manual.
| Bolt pattern | 5x120.70 |
| Center bore | 70.3 mm |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter | 17 in |
| Rim width | 8.5 in |
| Wheel offset | ET 58 mm |
| Backspacing | 6.53 in |
| Tire size | 245/45R17 |
If any value is different on your tire placard or owner’s manual, use your OEM data as the source of truth and compare it in the calculator.
The calculator on wheelinterchange.com lets you compare a donor wheel and tire to your 1999 Chevrolet Corvette, and also test custom sizes. Follow these steps:
Many owners consider plus sizing for handling and appearance. Use the calculator to keep total tire diameter close to your OEM reference shown above while changing rim diameter and tire profile. A small increase in width can improve grip, but verify:
If your Corvette uses a staggered setup, choose front and rear sizes accordingly and validate each axle independently in the calculator.
What is the 1999 Chevrolet Corvette bolt pattern?
5x120.70. The first number is studs, the second is the pitch circle diameter in millimeters.
What center bore do I need?
70.3 mm hub bore. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to 70.3 mm so the wheel centers on the hub.
Can I use wheels with a 5x120 bolt pattern?
No. 5x120 is not the same as 5x120.70. Do not force-fit or rely on hardware to compensate for PCD mismatch. Use the exact 5x120.70 pattern.
What offset works on this car?
The confirmed OEM offset we have is ET 58 mm for the listed wheel size. Offset needs may vary by axle and trim. Use the calculator to model inner clearance and outer poke for any new width or diameter, and confirm against your OEM placard.
Is the 1999 Corvette staggered from the factory?
It can vary by axle and trim. Check the tire placard in your door jamb or the owner’s manual. If staggered, run front and rear comparisons separately in the calculator.
What lug nuts should I use?
Thread size is M12 x 1.5. Match the seat type to the wheel design and ensure full thread engagement. Do not mix seat types.
Do I need spacers?
Not if the wheel fits correctly. If you use spacers, choose hub-centric units with proper hub and wheel bores, ensure adequate stud engagement, and recalculate the effective offset in the calculator.
What is the torque spec for the lug nuts?
The exact torque value can vary. Always use the factory specification from your owner’s manual or service information, then re-torque after driving 50 to 100 miles.
How do I keep overall tire diameter close to OEM when plus sizing?
Increase rim diameter while lowering tire aspect ratio so total tire diameter remains near your OEM reference. The calculator will show diameter change as you adjust sizes.
Will I need TPMS sensors?
Equipment can vary by market and trim. Check your cluster for a TPMS indicator and consult OEM documentation. If equipped, use compatible sensors and perform the relearn procedure after installation.
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
