Newer wheels for my '94 Z28

I have seen many people put newer corvette rims on 4G camaros but do the
5G camaro rims fit the 4G body and bolt pattern?

5th Gen rims will fit, as offsets are pretty close. However, the tires from the 5th gen will not fit.

No. The bolt patterns are not the same. They will not fit.

Is there room for learning here? I ask because one of the two camps will be getting new info and might be learning something new...

Its a no because the new Camaro has a 120 x 5 bolt pattern and the 4th gens (and vettes) have 120.65 x 5 bolt pattern. The new Camaros have the same bolt pattern as the Pontiac G8 and BMWs.

As for the size of the wheels....heres a pair of pics I swiped off LS1tech:

Re: Newer wheels for my '94 Z28

I guess size does matter after all. A good red neck could make tham work with a good drill and hammer and possibly heat wrench but not a good idea. There are becoming alot available for a good price. They do look nicer than the original z28 wheel of the early 90's but that is why they are the camaro cast offs of that generation.
