Default "snowflakes" on a LT1?

i am selling my 02 z28 "snowflake style" rims and had a guy very interested. The only problem is he has an LT1. Now i dont know if that matters, but i had an incident that makes me wonder. About 3 months ago i bought a LT1 10 bolt rearend to put in my car as a temporary fix. When i went to put my wheels on they wouldnt fit just perfect. The axle hub was just a hair too big for my wheels. I could get the lugs started but could never get the wheel to sit flush. This rear was out of a 94 Camaro. So my question is: will these wheels fit for this guys LT1? Also did the hub size change ever from 94 to 97? B/c this guys car is a 97. Any help would be appreciated! thanks.

Im pretty sure they will, not 100% sure but I have swapped 93-97 wheels with 98-02 wheels before and they have always fit.

In 97 GM went with smaller hubs. If you put 97+ rims on 93-96 car they will be very tight. Sand your hubs. I had to remove my friend's rims with a crow bar. haha It's not that bad, just very tight.

you will haft to dremel out the hole in the wheel slightly so it will fit on the rear hub.

buddy of mine had 10-spoke camaro wheels on a 99' SS rolling chassis he got from an auction. I remember that it took a 5 pound sledge to the inside of the back wheels to break them loose after the lugs were off.
