would the wheels work on my car? These wheels im looking at is a forgestar f14 matte black 18x9.5 all the way around with a 43 mm offset. Guy ordered them for his g8 and never used them....i know the g8 has a bolt pattern of 5x120. I know that'd work but would the hub bore cause these not to fit my 02 camaro ss? Thanks....

YES bolt pattern and offsets will fit. Ive used 5x120 (bmw fitment rims) for over a year daily driving, drag, scca, with no problems. as for the center bore...since its aftermarket rims it should fit center bore wise. Most, if not, all aftermarket rim companies make the center bore big so it can fit many different makes/ model cars. Some cars (imports, not tapered seat lug cars) need a hub centric ring to make them fit good, but our cars have tapered seat lugs so it centers the rim any way. Hub centric ring are NOT needed for our cars.
So Yes it should fit. Im 99.9% sure it will fit since its aftermarket. The .01% why im not sue it will fit is if your rims, by miracle, have a smaller center bore hub (dont know why it would). You can probaly call forgestar and ask how big the center bore is. Im sure they use a universal center bore diameter on all their rims.

4th gen camaro hubs are 70.5mm so if the forgestar rim hub is 67.1 then it wont fit.
Yes, 67.1 is the stock G8 hub bore size.
Is that the hub measument of the forgestar rim itself too? The reason why i ask is that aftermarket rims, (as stated previously) normally run a universal bigger hub so it can fit different cars. you might wanna check because I have a hunch that the forgestar rims hub is big enough to fit your 4th gen. The best way to check is a trial fitment.
