16's will fit but probably not that offset. the new camaro rims have an all negative offset and the older cars require a positive offset, i had 16's on my firebird but they were positive. i tried to put '99 z rims on my '79 cutlass and found i was going to need 2.5" spacers in back and 1.5" spacers up front so they would not work.the places to watch out are the tires on the rear frame, and the rims on they tie rod ends, i eventually put 16' iroc rims on it, they only needed 0.25" spacers. i might still have them availible if your interested(sale pending)

well it would prob. be like a 2" spacer or something like that, when i looked into spacers i found anything over about 0.75" u had to buy the ones that bolt to the hub and the rim bolts to them, and for a set of 4 of 2.5" they were going to be $400 american
