16 inch camaro rims for the rear will fit
you can use 2 gto spares for the front but you will have to replace the tires with a good high speed tire. ccw will sell you the tires to fit the gto rim.
you can buy the drag pack from ccw for $2400.00

best bang for the buck is get a set of vette frnts....The Z06 are best and lighter and you can put a ET street of BFG on them in the 315 series and hook up nicely....just have him watch the clutch and rearend.....

I now have a CCW Drag pack and that is an awesome setup to use. For the longest I did have the front Z06 wheels and they work great as well.

You can also do 15"/16" Weld or Bogart combos, but you need to put a rear calipers up front to clear the rims. I do not like this idea since the front calipers deliver the major of the stopping force.
The CCW package is well worth the $2400 price tag for them new. You can pick up a good used used from $1600 to $1800.

Yes the fbody camaro/firebird 16in rim fits. I believe you can search around and find some pics. Even the ugly iroc-z 16in rims fit cause I cant ever forget how ugly they looked

1-they are lighter
2-the fronts are skinnier
3-you can put a MT drag radial on the rears and have no problem hooking with reasonable power levels.

that is what I have for the strip on my car. Worked really good, not mention was nice and cheap.
