    Hmm those rims look hawt but the bolt pattern being off is a scary thing. I learned a lot watching my dads car shear off a total of 20 wheel studs because the taper on the lug nuts didn't match the wheel. If the bolt pattern isn't the same I could see the same problem happening. Now if the rims could be modified to fit.... thats another story.

    Time will tell I suppose. Anything putting down any considerable amount of power on any high speed cornering is going to amplify the amount of stress the studs will see...

    can the holes be opened slightly to accommodate seating better? Or aam I unsafely trying to oversimplify the solution

    Not sure man. I would think you'd have to have the seat where the taper of the lug nut touches the rim opened up also. But then you would not be fully engaged all the way around. Hell I may be over complicating it

    There are lots of people running 120mm pattern wheels on 4.75" vehicles. Like stated- it is only a .65mm(or.325 radius) off. Anyone you see running any 'tuner' style wheel is most likely a 5x120mm pattern. There is a constant debate about whether of not it is 'safe' but i am yet to see anyone have an issue running them.

    Now- with that said- i am not a fan of 20's on 4th gens. there are exceptions to every rule- but I rarely see them that look good.
