will it fit?

probably a stupid question but....will the 16" IROC rims fit a stock 82 z28 or are there spacers needed. I know the offsets are different on the irocs front to back while the 82's 15x7 aluminum 5 spokes were universal. so are these two cars compatible?

no big deal for now. I got some old school chevy rally rims on it right now and don't plan on changin any time soon

Level, are you sure she didn't actually say this after she giggled? LOL, couldn't help it.

No but seriously, I have an 84 TA and the 16" crosslace wheels fit with no problem whatsoever. The offsets for the firebirds are the same as for camaros. I'm guessing the only reason that the 16" rims have different offsets is because GM didn't think there was sufficient room in the front for a wider rim without pushing it outward a bit.
