Default Camaro Wheels fit?

Lookin at some early 2000's camaro wheels. Will they fit on a C3? One set is a 5 spoke from a 2000 model in 16 inch the others are 17 inch form a little later model. I have no idea what the back space and offset are on these, but the 16 inch ones are a great price and have good rubber. And if chromed down the road would look sweet!

Not without adapters. Late model rims will have too much backspace to fit on our cars.

As an after thought............

I would pass on 16" wheels due to the limited tire selections. You have a much better selection with 17". Adapters are not the worse thing in the world if you find the right set of 17" wheels with tires. You can find some real bargains with "take offs" but you have to figure in the price of the adapters before you can consider it a good deal. Just something to think about. Good luck in your search.

Thats makes good sense. I am continually drawn to the SLP Chrome ZR1 clone wheels that are a direct bolt on the C3 in 17 inch.....I should probably stick to my first instinct!
