Default Will oem c6's fit on an '89 camaro?

I'm going to dell my '09 c6 wheels. This guy with an '89 camaro wants them. I know we have the same bolt pattern, but what is their offset and backspace? Oh, and I have the 1.25" rear adapters if that helps.

Even with the adapters I don't think it will work. I am going to say it will rub on the inside, if you can even get them bolted up.

Offset on C6 wheels is very high, 89 mullet camaro has a fairly low offset.

Vettebrakes(?) still make the adapters for those beasts? I remember 1998ish when the chrome ZR1s/SS wheels were the rage, thats what guys had to use to get them to work on their 91-92 Z28s, looked like ****. A bunch of guys ran C5 wagon wheels or ROH ZS on those cars back then, memories.

i have the c5 thin spokes and it took 2" spacers all the way around to fit my 86. the fronts fit perfect, the rear prob can be 1.5"

there is a really good write up about backspacing on thirdgen.org

try doing a search on there for it
