I just bought a bueatiful little 1980 z28, and i need a little help with choosing the correct size wheel. I was interested in using a late model camaro/corvette wheel like a zr1,z06,ss wheel, but im not sure if they would work, or what size spacers were needed. any help on this would be much appreciated.

What size are your stock wheels..... diameter, width and offset or backspace? What is the bolt pattern? Not many people here who know much about anything earlier than a 3rd Gen. Typically, the early wheels were 0 offset, and had about 1/2" the width in the back.

4th Gen and C4-C6 Corvette wheels have huge offsets and backspaces, and are going to be a problem, requiring large spacer/adapters.

i have the stock 15x7 wheels on there now, and have a set of 17x9 ss wheels from a 2000 ss camaro. same bolt pattern, i know the rears will either need 2" or 2.5" spacers, not sure which though. im not sure if the front needs spacers or not.
