Quick question, went to the salvage yard today, and seen the wheels on a 1998 Z28, looked just like the ZR-1 wheels. They are a 16x8", my question is will these work on my 1989 coupe, backspacing the same and so forth. If they will work I can buy them for about 150.00 dollars. Thanks Bill.

Yes they will fit but will look very skinny. If you need them for snow tires then go for it other wise I don't think they will worth it. What is wrong with your 17's?

It works the other way round.ZR1 vette wheels fit the camaro.Problem is tire choice.Go to tire kingdom and check what's available. Nothing over 245/35 exept for some drag radials.245/35/16's are not going to fill the wheel arch and will look like your running your emergency spares.Stick with17's.
