I Found Some Searches On Here And Not One Really About Making Them Fit On An F Body, Mostly C5's. It Looks To Me That The Lca's Are Going To Have To Be Moved In. My 11s Are Close And Flush.

Then how?

I'll add this.

There is NO way these would fit on a Camaro w/o some body modifications.

These could fit on a Firebird, but to get them to fit, a spacer of an appropriate size would have to be run.

Then depending on your tire size, inner wheel well massaging may be necessay and possibly quarter panel rolling.

IMHO, completely defeats the purpose of having a 12" wide wheel with only a 295 series tire.

So, bottom line will they bolt right up? Absolutely not.

Will they bolt up on a Firebird with some mods yes.

Actually XstaZ28, I didn't run a spacer at all. Bolted right up to the hub just like any other wheel. Yes I did have to do ALOT of inner massaging and rolled fenderlips but NO spacer whatsoever. Also, I have seen this done many times on camaros without flared fenders but the camaros that I've seen are usually running a 17x11 335. I am running a full 14" wide michelin pilot 335 on my 18x12s. It is a given that camaros have less inner well room for big tires.
