3rd gen wheel backspacing ???

i wanted to know if anyone knows if 82-92 camaro wheels will fit an 86 caprice, im in the process of redoing my caprice and i think these would be a cheap upgrade, can anyone give me the specs of the wheels too including bolt pattern, backspacing and wheel size? thanks for any help guys!!!

I know for a fact that the stock 15x7 5 star wheels bolt right on and fit well. I'm sure the IROC 16x8 would too, but never tried that. Bolt patterns and hub diameter for both are standard Chevy. Backspacing for the 16x8 is 4" I believe, and 3.575" for the 15x7.

Bolt pattern is 5 lug on a 4.75" bolt pattern for the f-bodies and Corvettes. I know the newer b-bodies (caprice and Impala) has a 5 on 5" bolt pattern, but aren't sure on the older b-bodies.

http://www.skulte.com/adapterfaq.html for hints on measuring backspacing, and measurements on various GM rims. I hope this helps!
