Default I have a question about camaro wheels

I found a set of Camaro 17x9.5 wheels for sale. I would like to use them. To put on the back of my 2004 ZO6. I want them to mount drag tires on. So when we have a day at the dragstrip. I can just change out, the rear wheels and tires. My buddies run 17x9.5 vette front wheels now. On the rear of their ZO6s. And that works great. Just thought someone might know, if the Camaro wheel will work.

thanks BAD A

Why not buy a pair of Z06 front wheel? Nice and light and will match (if you have Z wheels still on).
And what are the specs for the Camaro wheels? Offset...

I have 18" Welds on the rear now. And the Camaro wheels are a good price. Plus with a 17", I have more tire options.

I put 16" f body wheels on. More tire options with more sidewall. Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure the 4th gen (1993-2002) Camaro wheels fit the C5s just fine. I know several people running C5 (or even C6) wheels on their 4th gen F bodies (Camaros and Firebirds).

I thought most of the Camaro wheels were 9Jx17ET50, though. I'm not aware of any factory Camaro wheels that were 9.5" wide x 17" diameter.

Oh, and the 2010+ Camaros had a different lug pattern. Those are 5x120mm, not the older 5x4.75" pattern from the earlier generations. They seem "close enough" for some folks, but they are definitely different.
