Rims from an Impala SS

Would rims from a 94 to 96 LT1 Impala SS fit a third gen? They are 17x8.5 with a 6.00 mm offset and 5" bolt center. Would I need spacers or a different size front and rear?
Thanks in advance,
GC

You can order ROH ZR6s to fit an F-body, they look badass BTW, exactly the same as Impala SS rims IMO

Impala wheels will not fit a thirdgen because of the 5 on 5" bolt pattern. Third (and fourth) gens are 5 on 4.75"

Re: Rims from an Impala SS

Ok I have these rims on my camaro and let me tell you there awesome. I found out you can get them to fit by buying brake rotors from a 2000 astro van. Turns out they fit the spindle perfect. As long as you have the standard spindles. Also I have a 91 camaro so I got lucky with the rear axles from a astro van since I have a 28 spline rear end. I tried spacers very bad idea the front will rub and the rears stick out alot and hit the well (on every bump).

got pics? to me, it [Impala SS rims] doesn't sound like it would look very good on a Third Gen.
