2000 Corvette rims on a 92' camaro

I have a good deal on those rims for my 92' camaro. What size of back spacing am i gonna need for the rims to fit on all four corners of the car. The camaro obviously has disc's up front and drums out back. One more question, I also have a good deal on the 2000 camaro rims(the rim which came on camaros after the Zr1 type). What size for backspacing on those. Its probably not possible but do any of u guys have a pic of a thirden camaro with any of these rims, i would really like to see how it looks before i get them. thanks

Dude there was a guy that posted pics of his ride with ZR-1 rims on it, look it up and ask him. I know that they definitely will look great on a Camaro.

The backspacing needs to be 2 and a quarter inches. I have 2001 Z06 Vette wheels on my 88.

The z06 uses different size rims. I think 17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. Did you have to use four fronts or did you get the large rears to fit???

There are a set of Z06 wheels on ebay right now in chrome for around $1500. I just got the '98 C5 wheels like the maroon one up top. I found tires for $77 a piece at http://www.tirerack.com. I'll probably get better ones but that was for BF Comp TA R1 in 245/45/17. A littel more for the 255/40/18 in back though.
