#1......This exact same issue is asked WEEKLY here. So you didn't search on TGO. It HAS been answered.

#2.....Did you bother to ASK the adapter MANUFACTURER? Apparently not. One of TGOs sponsors, who sells the adapters, has a whole page on his website DEDICATED to this.

Sorry if I'm harsh, but when you've been here since TGO existed, you'll understand the frustration of seeing questions asked OVER & OVER & OVER.

Nobody will able to help you if you don't provide the info needed. You'll need to know the backspacing of the wheels.

And ya, you can find the answers to most questions right away by using the search feature.

Re: Need Help!! Will 90 Corvette C4 Wheels fit a 89 Camaro rs??

the search feature is down.... it couldn't even find "camaro" try searching for "17X9.5" C4 wheel offset" on google or something, then you will be abel to find what size spacers you need, just a guess would say 1.75" rear and 2.25" front, thats assuming that it 56mm offset, but i'm not sure
