You need wheel adapters to make them fit. I have 4th gen wheels on my Camaro and had to use 2" spacers front and back. Got them from Skulte Performance. Do a search, I can't remember his URL.

I have a 4th gen rear, and use the Skulte Adapters on the front as well. I too use 18x9 Z06 up front and 18x10.5 in the rear (thats on my 92 RS)

There is the link for the 2" adapters. they run $150 a pair. but they are top quality.. and they are different then just a spacer. These actually bolt to your cars lugs.. then you bolt the wheels to the adapter. You will see what i mean when you look at them.. You are using all of the stud instead of just the end like on a spacer.

If You get just a spacer that goes in between you run a pretty good risk of breaking off lugs and doing serious damage.. Best thing to do is to just shell out the $300+shipping and do it right.

putting 4th gen on my stock 92 RS conv. Do I only need the 2" spacers on the front? Or front and rear. I thought just the front only, but just checking. Thanks.

If your using the stock 3rd gen rear, then you will need a spacer/adapter.
