Default Would 4th Gen 16s fit on a 5th Gen currently running 20s?

My friend is getting their wheels powdercoated on their 5th Gen V6 Camaro (non Brembo) and needs some wheels to ride around on for a couple weeks while the 20s get powdercoated. Just wondering if my wheels would fit on their Camaro if I were to borrow them my stock 16s. Thanks for the help.

Lug spacing is not the same. Many people don't seem to care, but I wouldn't do it.

I'm not sure how big the rotors are on the non-Brembo 5th gens but aside from lug spacing issues, 16" wheels still may not clear the brakes.
