is there any way i can get these wheels to work? what im trying to do is take the wheels off of my 1st gen camaro, and put them on my 4th gen.
the prblem is, is the hub sizes are different.
All i know is the wheels are cragar, and htey are 15"... and before i get bashed for putting 15" rims on my car, these are for winter, and they are free.
i heard i will need a hubcentric rings and i was wondering if anyone has experience with that stuff.
Thanks a lot!

is the hub on your 4th gen wider? or skinnnier? if they are wider. then maybe just dremel the inside of the rim? just the 97-02 4th gen wheels need to be dremeled to fit 93-96.

i can put the wheel back on and take a pic if you dont understand what im talking about.
edit* I mean, i could put the wheel on my car right now, but i have no way of getting it centered, and that would probably be really bad driving like that

to be honost, i dont really know what you mean.
Is lugcentric where the studs go completly through the wheel, and you use this type of lug nut:
the wheels im trying to put on will requite me to use something like this:
and the holes for the studs are elongated, so the wheel can move up and down.Im just hoping the wheel isnt too wide, and I will be able to turn

how wide is the wheel? lugs center the wheel with lugcentric wheels. hubs center the wheel with hubcentric wheels. too be honest. i may be waaaaaaaay wrong here. but if you think about it. if you used the lugcentric lugs(lugs that get narrower has you get closer to the bottom) then it should work. at least thats my way of thinking about it. im sure Xta Z28 will chime in and let us know.
