Rim patterns

Will rims from a 1995 Impala fit onto a 1982-92 Camaro ? Also, will the Impala rims fit onto a 1999 Astro van ?

I appreciate the reply, but "probably" is not an option . See... I have to know before I buy the rims as returns are not an option.

Re: Rim patterns

Are you able to test fit them before you buy them? you may need spacers or something of the sort.

Re: Rim patterns

The impala should have 5 on 5" bolt pattern. I think the Astro would have 5 on 5" as well.

Re: Rim patterns

Absolutely WILL NOT FIT....Without adapters.

Those Impalas have the same 5 on 5" lug pattern as a truck. I know, because I bolted a set of the 17" Impala SS (which is what I bet your wanting) on my 97 Tahoe.

Other than my 5" lowering, they were a direct bolt-on. I had to trim the bottom of my lower a-arms, to keep the rims from rubbing.

The rims I am buying are on a 1995 Impala, but they are 20" aftermarket rims, not the original Impala rims. Don't know if that makes any difference or not ?

20" rims on a 3rd gen.......

Momma always told me..."If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.".......So I have no comment on 20" wheels on a 3rd gen.

Not my choice either... My son wants them for his 92 rs, and/or my wife wants them for her 2000 Astro van ! I have 18" Cragger SS's on my Camaro !!
