go for it, . try ebay, and look for a 1.0, 1.25 or 1.50 wheel adapter, . jus type in camaro wheel adapter, . and voila!, . . and no, there isn't a ton of information about them like stated, . . but alot of people run this with no problems whatsoever, my friend did it on his 03 cobra and his rear stance looks mean, do it and you'll be happy

hey guys i work on tires, and let me be the first to tell u stay away from spacers, ive seen nuthing but problems. when u put a wheel spacer on the hold, u now shorten the actual wheel stud, and when u torque it down it wont be properly torqued because the lug is gonna try pulling on the stud, becuase its not fully down on the hub because of the spacer. hub centric rings are fine, they go in the middle of the rim to redcuce the Circumference of the center so that it fits securly on the hub with out moving up and down, left and right, nice and flush!
