Default Would OEM C6 Corvette wheels fit a 98 Z28?

I had a friend offer to sell his 2009 OEM C6 Corvette wheels. They are 245/40/18 for the front and 285/35/19 for the rear. Would these fit my 1998 Camaro Z28? Whould there need to be any modifications? The Z28 has not been lowered.

Thanks in advance!

Front's will fit fine. Rears need 1.24" spacers or even better, adapters. I ran those wheels for a while and that's what I had to get. I had my adapters custom made which cost me $250, but you can get mass produced ones on ebay for about $60-$70 I found out afterwards...

Ok, so i need spacers for the rear. What size would fit best, 1.25" or 1.5"? I plan on lowering the car if that matters.

I have 1.25 spacers on my rears. I had super low springs (Ksport- 2") that would rub on the inside and outside. I recently switched to the Pro-Kit, they rub hardly ever now (big bumps while turning at speed only). I have 275/35/18 and 295/30/19, I think I have maybe a tiny bit more tire than you.

1.25" is what i was thinking. Do you know where you got them from? I found some on ebay for $65 + $12 shipping (Wheel Hub Centric Adapter). Your Z looks sweet. That setup is what im going for. The tires are 245/40/18 and 285/35/19.

I got those same ones off ebay (about $80 shipped). Just to clear up my previous post, mine are adapters not spacers.

..and thank you
