Question 2010 camaro 18" wheels on a 1998 Z28

Hello everyone, I´m new here... i was told that the 2010 uses a 5-120mm bolt pattern and the 1998 uses 5-120.65mm or 5-475" bolt pattern
So, i was wondering if anyone knows if a set of 18" wheels from a 2010 V6 Camaro will actually fit on my 1998 camaro Z28?

Just doing a quick search online, I'm going to say they will not fit. Not because of the bolt pattern, wheel stud holes aren't really cut with incredibly tight tolerances, you would probably be able to get the wheel studs into the holes, but the more important question would be the difference in hub diameters and offsets, those may prevent them from actually fitting much more so than the bolt-pattern. And the 1998s appear to have had a 3mm larger centerbore than the 2010+ cars, so you wouldn't be able to fit the wheel over the 1998 hub.

Thank you very much for the info, I was suspecting something like that!

Of course they have the wrong bolt pattern. 5 x 120.0 mm for the 2010, vs 5 x 120.65 mm for the 1998. May seem like a small difference, but some people have reported broken wheel studs and the lugs coming loose when running the 120 mm bolt circle (typically, a BMW wheel). Others claim they have had no problems.

You have to decide if you want to take the chance.... but you at least need to be aware there is a mismatch on the bolt circle.
