2011 Camaro stock rims on 2000 Firebird Hi, got a friend who's getting rid of his stock rims, I found that their measurements is 18x8.5 but can't find the offset/or lug pattern measurements. I currently have stock 16s on my 2000 firebird, would these fit? Will I need spacers or anything along with the new tires? Or are the patterns between the two incompatible?

They should bolt up, just know that the bolt pattern is just slightly different, which could possibly shear a stud (although very doubtful)
As far as offset, I'm not sure what it is on those wheels so they may stick out or sink into the wheel well. F-body bolt pattern is 5 x 120.65mm, 5th gen is 5 x 120mm, so like I said they're pretty close.
As far as what it'll look like, well... it'd be interesting. lol

Oh they are the black bare ones? I haven't seen those on a 4th gen. The ones I saw were the silver 5 spokes. I personally don't like the black wheels, try em on and if you like them, get them. Any idea what size tires are on the 18s? That may be another concern

I have a set of wheels that were originally for a 5th gen
that I made to work on a 4th gen.
First off the hub bore on a 5th gen (smaller) is a different size
than a 4th gen (larger). So you will have to get it machined out
to fit on the 4th gen.
Also being that the wheel bolt pattern is not exactly 120.65mm
I like to run the lugs that have a non fixed seat, Mc Guards makes
some nice ones. Reason being that the lugs with the free spining
seat will mate up better in this set up and accomodate the little
variance of .65mm
They make a lot of baller wheels for the 5th gens.
Here is mine.
