The hole in the rear wheels where the hub fits needs to be opened up slightly in order to fit....

c5wheels
I put them on my 94 and I had to sand the center of the rim to get the backs on. also you will have to hit the inside fender wells in with a hammer to get them not to rub. also you will have to put them on with the susupension droped, otherwise you will hit the bump stop. Mine look great

Obviously, not all 97+ C5 wheels are the same. Yes, they all have the 4.75" bolt circle. They will probably need sanding on the inner diameter for the earlier year F-Bodys. But where there is a significant difference is in the offset - and hence backspace - of certain models.
Many of the wheels (including repros) have 54, 56, adn 58mm offsets which will generally not be a problem on the F-Body. But a few of them have 61 - 65mm offsets, which puts them against the inner fender liner.....
Z06 18x9.5 repro 61mm
2000-02 18x9.5 repro and GM 65mm
97-99 18x9.5 repro and GM 61mm
Also might have a problem with...
Z06 18x10.5 repro and GM 58mm
2000 18x10.5 repro 58mm

to tell you the truth I am not sure what offset I have on my rims . I got them from a guy who took them off a 97 vette on ebay w/goodyear eagle f1 emt's I put them on after sanding and they rubed my iner fender wells . I just hammered on them for a bit not too bad, and they went on with a 1" to 1"1/2 clearence.

You guys are correct. All you have to do is sand down the inner hole of the rear rims, pound the inner fender well to avoid rubbing, and they should slide right on. I absolutely love mine. I think they look WAY better on Camaros than Vettes. Here's some pics of mine:
