wheel won't fit on my car, is this right?

I bought a set of 2002 Camaro Z28 wheels (the 10 spoke design). I just came back from trying them on my 96 Formula and they won't fit on the back (didn't bother trying the front). The bolt pattern is right but it won't go on the hub.

Are the 98-02 factory wheels different in the hub bore diameter as compared to the factory 93-97 wheels? They changed the rear brakes on 98-up so would the axles be different from the 93-97 cars?

This totally blows!!!!! BTW I already called the guy I bought them from and if they are different I'm getting my money back, he's a stand up person.

Go to the FAQ stickied at the top of the Wheels & Tires forum, and scroll 1/2-way down the first page to the post "Why won't my new wheels fit over the rear hubs? "

Thanks Fred, I looked under wheels for 4th gens instead of the FAQ. I'll do the dremel thing and I should be good.
