I didn't know they made IROC's that fit 4th gens. What LT1 rims? Salad shooters or 5 spokes? Not much choice.

IROC's dont' have the right offset for a 4th gen. They're 16x8. I've seen the larger diameter aftermarket rims but they all have the standard 4.5" backspacing.

IROC wheels would stick out roughly 2 inches from the outside of a 4th gen car, they are 16x8s

there are tons of replica companies out there making 16 up to 20 inch IROC replicas

IROC's WON'T fit with the stock backspacing unless you have half worn brake pads. I put a set of 3rd gen GTA wheels on my 94 V6 Camaro for a couple weeks while I was getting snow tires put on the stock steelies. The brakes were in need of replacement and when I replaced the pads and put the wheel back on it wouldn't fit. It was hitting the cailper.You'd need a spacer to stick it out even more for caliper clearance. The GTA wheels stuck out as it was. It was different but I wouldn't intentionally do it for a long period of time.

Yes, my bad I should clarify. I did mean the aftermarket versions but they are exact replicas and come in 18".

With the right backspacing, yes they would fit. There is a sticky in the forum that shows different wheel spacings and where they would fit relative to the inner fender and outer fender edge. You can use that to get an idea if the offset or backspacing is given to you.
