Just for fun I took one the the wheels off my 2000 GMC Yukon (16") and put on my 1975 REPU. It fit fine, but looked really funny and out of place.

FL Repu

I checked with a custom wheel shop and they told me the same thing (6X5.5). Sorry, but I only know the ones I have dealt with, which have been RX2's, RX3's,RX4's and RX7's, which all have 4X110 except for the GSL-SE of course. Never had a REPU, going to be my 1st and I'm excited. Thanks for the comment Crit, I felt a little bit of sarcasm in it!

Just remember that the 74 and 75 trucks use left-handed threads on the driver's side lug nuts. Don't be one of those guys that doesn't post until after he's snapped two studs per wheel, and only THEN asks. I can't say I've done it, but it must seriously suck.

Crit I did not realize I needed to know that info about the REPU, thanks for the Heads Up, I don't like surprises, if I have any questions I'm sure that you will be able to help out as well as the REPU owners or Rotor Heads with REPU knowledge.

Yeah, o.k. dude... Coming from someone who doesn't even own a REPU! You do know that it's the metric equivalency right?

No sarcasm intended. I just go by the metric system that's all.

I've been so used to 4x110 that when I got my REPU I was overwhelmed by how many wheel choices I have.

No problem, man. You just have to be careful when not working in the native units. A GSL-SE bolt pattern is NOT 4 on 114.3 (and yes, I have an SE) but rather is 4 on 4-1/2. To state is at a 114.3 bolt circle is to imply 0.1mm precision, which isn't the case. The same is true for the REPU and its 6 on 5-1/2" pattern.

We all have calculators, but that doesn't mean it's appropriate to use imperial and metric dimensions interchangably.

Sure, but why perpetuate bad info? Why jump down my *** when I'm not wrong?

How is simply stating the metric lug pattern equivalency bad info.? Calm down, nobody is jumping on your ***, nor stating you're wrong.

Don't forget we also have a REPU specific forum, which most of the posters are members of.
