Default c6 wheels on 98 camaro

Just wondering if the bolt patterns match up. i tried searching and could not find anything. I'm sure theres a previous tread about it or maybe i'm just asking a dumb question.

Front OEM C6 18x8.5 will fit your '98's front without any issues. The rear C6 OEM 19x10's have a 79mm offset and you'll need a 1.25" adapter/spacer to make them fit.

If you use that big of a spacer, you should be using a longer and stronger wheel stud. Even if you can get the wheel on the stock stud, the spacers and extra width will stress the stock studs too much. I would recommend going to a 3 1/4" stud. ARP (and JEGS) has them in the M12-1.5 stock thread, or you can go standard and get the 7/16-18 or 1/2-20 fine thread in the 3-1/4" length. Just be sure to get the Knurl head that is .509 which is the size F-bodies take.

Either way, thats a huge spacer on stock studs and you really should swap them out. It's fairly easy to do.

No...this is the type of spacer/adpater I'm talking about. It bolts to the stock studs and then you bolt the wheel to the new studs:

Very cool, I've not seen those before. It looks like it would be pretty secure. Do you think it being that much wider is will affect the wheel hubs? I know the guys who run 315 in the front chew through front wheel hubs all the time. Curious as to what you thought?

Also, it is just me, or is that a serious BFH mod to the rear fenderwell and what appears to be rolled lips? Just wondering cause that what it looks like.

I ran those 1.25" spacers on all 4 corners because I was running C6 19x10's all the way around at one point. NO BFH mod was required at all when I used these spacers. The 275/30/19 tire made it a VERY rough ride, so I didn't keep them too long. However, I never had any problem with the spacers at all. I got mine off of eBay for around $60 per pair. However, there is a company that makes one just like it, but it's hub-centric as well, but they're also TWICE the price. I never had any problems with my eBay spacers, but some seem to think that hub-centric is even better and prevent vibrations, etc.
