Will 16in third gen wheels fit onto a 69 Camaro?

I know this is a bit odd but I need to move the car a few miles, and the only extra set of wheels I have lying around are 16x7 Iroc wheels.

Would these be able to get me down the road? Or would I need spacers or something?

Thanks!

Well, the thirdgens used spacers up front, so you would probablly need them.
I'd rather have 17s...

Hahah this is only temporary to bring it up the road about 2 miles.

I plan on getting 17's for my car next year.

I used to see '69 Camaros with Iroc wheels back in the '80s/early '90s,but don't know any details...I had 60 series tires on the rear of my 69 Camaro,and they would rub on the inside if there were heavy passengers in the rear seats...Back in the era mentioned,it was common to mount 3rd gen parts onto and into 1st gen Camaros
