Will Camaro/Corvette wheels fit?
Do they match up bolt-pattern wise? Offset-wise? How about fitting under the wheel wells?

Think they'd look good? Either the ones that came on the 02 SS, or the Z06 style?

Original 02 SS wheels off of my old Camaro:

WHEEL SIZE - ( 17 X 9 )
OFFSET - ( 50 mm )
BOLT PATTERN - ( 5 lug, 4 3/4 )



Z06 Wheels
Front - Offset 17x8.5 +58mm
Rear- 18x9.5 +65mm

is that a negative or positive offset ?

5"x114.5". +45 and +55 offsets have worked. You can fit a 275 on either of them and have it fit.

Well... I had thought they might have looked good... But since its not the same bolt pattern, no real point in arguing it.

If it would have worked, I assume you would have had the chevy/corvette emblems removed?
