Default ZR1 replica question ... Again..

I'm sure this has been asked before but I could not find it.
I have a 91 with AFS ZR1 wheels 9.5 chrome. One of them has checked the curb pretty good. I have a chance to buy 4 from a 4th gen Camaro (not sure what year). Will I have fitment issues? What offset am I looking for?
Thanks again guys

56mm is the stock front ZR1 9.5 wheel offset but, some Aftermarket ZR1 wheels have a 54mm offset which fit fine.

if they fit the Cameron they will fit yours.
Only the genuine ones won't look right.

4th gen camaros and C4 use the same, or similar, offsets.

My advice is make sure you have factory offset,not close to.I had a 98 z28 that had some chrome Zr-1 wheels that came with the car along with the factory ones.The Zr-1 rims stuck out,didn't look right,& caused the car to drive "funny".It would also tramline like crazy.I'm sure the previous owner did not order the correct offset for those Zr-1 wheels & I took them off when I owned it & would not put them back on because of all the issues I had with them not being correct offset.So my advice is even if their close & fit-don't do it.Make sure they are factory(c4) offsets otherwise you won't like it

Found out a little more today, they are off a 98 camaro. They are aftermarket ZR1 from Discount tire . One is new (in box) one has curb rash and the other two look good.

So I will end up with two good spares for future curb checks.
