Third gens won't accept 4th gen wheels. I have a buddy with an 83 Z28 with a T56 swap and we tried to slide my chrome ZR1s on his car to see what it looked like and no dice. The outer bearing surround on the 3rd gen rotor is too big to fit through the center hole on a 4th gen wheel

if we were to make the center hole a little bigger would they fit? Like if we just drilled out the hole bigger?

you need an adapter, hit up thirdgen.org and you can search about what adapter you will need, im not sure of the exact width. Once you have the right adapters they will fit fine.

Not easily... Beyond the centerbore possibly being different, the offsets are WAY different. On my 3rd gen F'bird, I had Enkei 15x8 rims, with a 4" backspacing, and the backside of the rims just cleared the front struts. The OE 16x8s that came with my 4th gen Camaro had 6" of backspacing.

Adapters all around or you can get a 4th gen 10 bolt, and then you'd only need the adapters for the front.
