Default New Camaro wheels on an F body?

Has anybody tried it yet or will they even fit? Ive seen a few sets for sale, not really sure I'd want them on my car but I was curious.

There was a thread about this a while back. Somebody had some up next to a F-body. They are WAY to big.

I think the bolt pattern is different.

With the right tire size, they could fit. But, 20's are too big for an Fbody, unless you want to throw off your gearing horribly, and want to worry about bending a rim with every bump you hit.

The new Camaros are ******* hogs and need the big rim to look decent, looks ghetto on 4th gens imo.

WILL NOT FIT (unless right sized tire and modded hub opening). My buddy tried a few months ago. bolt pattern is the same but Way too tall unless you use 25 series tires. also the hub is too small and will need to be shaved down a lot. not worth it. also It will be way to "bling bling" for a 4th gen lol.

How about the base Camaro LS wheels? Yes, you still need to modify the hub, but they're 18". With different size tires, they might work and they have sort of an old school look.

OEM tire size is 245/55-18

I'm just throwing out ideas since someone asked. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think they look kind of cool - like old school Camaro wheels. I wouldn't change wheels to get that look, but I could see some people who might like it.

I'd run the base model wheels... for the winter if you have a DD F-body and big brakes... like me
