My question will the Corvette c6 wheels fit a 79 camaro? I have a set of 18 x 9.5 and 19 x 10's any pictures of them on a 79 camaro?

They would bolt on but the offset isn't right at all.A wheel for a 79 Camaro would have a lot less backspace than a f-body or a c-6 vette.In other words the c-6 wheels will be too far in.

Just to give you an approximation of what might be required I know that 17" SS Camaro 10 spokes require a 1.5" spacer in the front and 2" in the rear to fit a second gen Camaro.

^^What he said.^^ We tried to put my Torque Thrust II's off of my '99 Z28 on my brothers old '78 Z28. We would have needed 1.5" - 2" spacers for them to fit.
