I wanted to find a, "List of Stock Wheel Sizes and Styles and Tire Sizes for Third Gens", but I couldn't find one anywhere. If someone knows where such a list would be or could create one that would be greatly appreciated. I wanted to replace some awful aftermarket wheels with some stockers and wanted to know what years which wheels came from and what the stock tire sizes were.

For the '82-'92 run you could get 14",15" and 16" wheels from the factory for the F-Body.This link in the tech section will give a bit of technical insight
http://www.skulte.com/adapterfaq.html .The best thing to do is look thru the picture gallery and the Auto Detailing Section to get an idea of what you might like.My '83 Z28 came standard with 15x7 5 spoke aluminum wheels,with gold accents to match the rockers,with P215/65-15's(the stock wheels are 15x7 with "0" ofset and 4.25" backspacing).I upgraded to P235/60R-15's to put down a little more footprint while maintaining the same diameter.Now I have a set of '85-'87 IROC single groove wheels,with gold accents to match the trim,with 235/55HR-16's.The overall diameter of the stock tire/wheel package is roughly 26.1".If you stay close to this you don't have to go thru changing speedometer drive gears in the trans tail housing.

I know I want the five spoke 15" wheels, but I don't know which if any are 8" wide, which I would prefer if they exist. Finding the original wheels on a Camaro is a rare thing it seems, so looking at cars even knowing their years may be misleading. I'm trying to deduct how rare some of these wheels may be and how much they should be worth at the same time.

I believe all 15" rims were 7" wide. There were some years where a 235 60 15 was offered as a factory option tire.

Here's a strange idea. Would 15X7 4X4 Blazer wheels fit or is the offset wrong? I have seen Camaro wheels on S10's wondered if that worked both ways.

Obviously the bolt pattern is the same(5 on 4.75)The offset on the S-Series 4WD wheels is almost the same as for the 4th Gen F-Body.You would have to use spacers to use them.Also the 4WD wheels,even the aluminum ones,are heavier.I know the 15x7 aluminum wheels on my 4WD Jimmy are heavier than the original 15x7 3rd Gen wheels(and even the 16x8 single stripe IROCs I have on my Z28 now).
You do have the option of the ZQ8 16" wheels that was part of the 2WD Extreme package on S-10's.They are very similar to the Camaro's 16" wheels used from 89-'90 to '92.The only 15x8 factory aluminum wheels would be from a C3 Vette '77-'82 or the Snowflakes that were part of the WS6 package on '78-'81 T/As(and the Turbocast of the same period).

Edit:Go to http://www.camarosource.ca/main_new_...new_layout.htm and you can look at the various wheels that came on 3rd Gens(well all Camaros '67-'02).
