Your answer:

50 mm or 56 mm 17" x 9.5" front and 50 mm 17" x 11" rear for Camaro.

38 mm offset 17" x 9.5" will fit up front on a Camaro.

The 36.5 mm offset 17" x 11" does not fit a Camaro, but will a Firdbird.

Simply reitterating what was said above.

Not true. The 36.5mm offset will fit Camaro's, I've seen it myself here at school. Just requires the BFH mod and some fender rolling like any other 17x11 fitment. Looks really Mexican, though. Sticks out like almost a full inch past the fender. Sticks out way too far, but it'll fit.



hm, so like i said it fits both, but wont look good though

So you encourage people to make their car look like ****?? Thus why it is stated they do not fit . . . Who in the hell would want a tire that sticks OUT of the wheel well . . . .

in that case alsmost all tires/rims with the right lug pattern fit...they may not roll becuase they are rubbing the inner fender so bad but they still fit

What's the diff? They DO fit, he wanted to know if they would and his question was answered.

And? Right bolt pattern, backspacing, offset...if it fits it fits. My car required fender work to fit, and a lot of people alter there cars to house wheels for performance reasons.
