Will 4th Gen Rims fit on a 2nd Gen?

If not what rims will fit? I just bought a 78 Camaro Type LT and want to get some nice rims for it.

Only way to fit 4th gen rims on a 2nd gen is to use some thick spacers (2" or so), or totally change your suspension. There are millions of aftermarket styles that will fit, and cheaper too! Do some shopping...

Nate,
Depending on backspacing and type of brakes you are running,third gen should fit.I have seen numerous 2 gen with third gen wheels and no spacers needed.
I have 16" torq thrust 2's on my 73 and for ***** and giggles put them on my fiances 91 formula when she still had it and they fit fine so the wheels should be okay either way.
