Question Anyone know if 17 x 9.5 rims from 01 Camaro will fit on my 71 Chevelle?

I know someone selling some nice rims from a 01 Camaro and was wondering if they will fit on my 1971 Chevelle. I have seen people swap rims from 98 - 67 camaros but not sure about chevelles?

thanks

The offsets on the wheels are different. The wheels off my 71 chevelle stick out past the fenders and quarters when i put them on my 94 z28.

You'll have to run a spacer. I think I have 3/4" spacers on mine.

I just got another set of rims from a 99 Camaro that are 17 x 10.5 and when I put the rim on my Chevelle it looks like it will rub. I dont have tires on these rims but just wanted to put one on to get a idea of how much room I have. Does anyone know for sure if a 3/4" spacer will work or can I go with a little bigger spacer?

Thanks

What kind of rims are they? 17x10.5 is kinda a wierd size. Are they 17x11s? I had to use like a 2 1/8" spacer to fit some 18x10.5" Z06 wheels on my old '69. Measure the backspacing on the wheel when you get a chance.
