I have some billet specialties that are 5-4.5 bolt pattern and I was wondering what wheel bearings spindels breaks and other parts I would need and what to get them from. And if any one has pics of a fiero with big's and littel's if you could post them that would be great.
 
There isn't any 5 X 4.5 hubs that can be used on the rear. The FWD style drive hubs only come in metric. stock is 5X100mm and the alternate sizes are 5X110mm and 5X114mm.

The fronts can used Camaro rotors/brakes but you need to make an adapter plate to hold the caliper in the proper position.
 
5 on 114 mm is 5 on 4.5 I was wondering if you could use the 114mm gm parts on a fiero.

114mm is actually 4.48". The .02" difference stacked up by 5 studs in a circular pattern makes the pattern .1" off. You might be able to get the 4.5" wheels on, But they won't sit correctly and if you torque the lugnuts down, they will have stress as the lugnut forces the stud to be centered and they eventually crack, possibly while driving.

FYI, Most 5X4.5 wheels are designed for RWD vehicles, What is the offset of the wheels? If the offset is incorrect, This will put stress on the CV joint and hubs and kill the handling of the vehicle. I've seen FWD cars with RWD wheels before and the outcome isn't good. Usually the CV or hub wear quickly and fail. At highway speeds (55mph-65mph) the wheels do not apply pressure on the contact patch properly which causes the vehicle to be unstable and very hard to control.

Thank's for the info. Is there a 5 on 114 that could be used ? And if I use the camaro front what would I need for the rear.
 
Would that make the front of the car have 5-4.75 and the rear have 5-114mm?
