C5 Corvette Wheels

I have a 1991 Z-28 with the factory "star" Z-28 wheels on. I have seen some other third-gen camaros on the net with the Corvette c5 wheels on them. The size of the wheels is 17 x 8.5. Does anyone know if any mods have to be made to make these wheels fit the backspacing offset differential? For those that want to see an example of the wheels here is an ebay auction for them. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=120288987633 Anyone one with any helpful knowledge on this subject can e-mail me at blackcamaroz-28@hotmail.com

Re: C5 Corvette Wheels

Thanks for the reply. Where might I get a set of the spacers? I figured there was something that needed to be done. I never heard of Anna, Il., where is that located? I live currently in Mattoon and work in Champaign. Let me know, thanks again.

Re: C5 Corvette Wheels

I got my spacers off ebay, much like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...spagenameZWD1V

I always love the oppurtunity to show off the car I have 18" C6 Z06 wheels
