You will need spacers like 4th gen wheels.

like it was just said, adapters are needed to make them fit. Skulte.com offers them and i have seen other places that are around 150 for a pair. So 300 for just adapters really suck.

also most 80s vette wheels dont look good, unless u mean the later years like 88, 89. I'd suggest the ZR1s(90') if anything. Also i've seen like a 85 camaro here with like 85 or 6 vette wheels, it looks like **** IMO
