Umm you guys do know that the 36.5mm offset will stick out about 1/4"-1/2" on the camaros? Also did you know that the 4th gen T/A's have bigger fender wells? So the 36mm will be very tight on a T/A but will fit. For the Camaro crowd 50mm is the proper offset for 17x11's hence why he said they will not fit on the camaro's. Just an FYI for you all.

Also those are the ZR1 offsets 38mm and 36.5 mm. The ZR1 and older vettes had wider fenders and could accept the wider looks of the wheels. The 56 and 50mm offsets are the Grand Sport offsets they don't stick out as bad and tuck up nicely in the fender.

Talk to any 3rd gen guy and they will tell you the only way to run the 17x11s on the back of a 3rd gen and make it look good is to have a 4th gen rear end and then use the Grand sport offset. (50mm)

I probably should have read the offsets huh. Welp, guess I'll give myself a kick in the ***.

But they still won't fit on the thrid gens. Unless your going all out mullet style.

Thanks for the *** kick dark
