Will 1990 corvette tires and rims fit a 1997 camaro?
I have new tires on my vette and they will probably dry rot before I register the car. Will these fit on my 97 camaro and will there be any clearance issues? They 275/40zr/17

According to the database I use, the 90 Corvette wheels are 17 x 9.5" with a 56mm offset. They will fit fine on a 4th Gen F-Body. I have the equivalent wheel on the front of my 94. The 275/40-17 tire diameter is an exact match to the the 245/50-16 tires used on the Z28's with Z-rated tire option. They are slightly smaller than the 235/55-16 tires used on the base Z28 and upgraded V6 models.

Unless you have had the tire size programmed in the PCM changed, your speedo is reading 2% higher than actual speed, and every time you drive 1,000 miles, your odometer is racking up 20 extra miles.
