yyou will have to dremel or file the center of the rear rims to fit over your rear hubs. You only have to take off a little bit.

My old stock snowflakes (16x8's) would not fit on my friend's '94 Z28 properly. There would need to be some modification somewhere, but I'm unsure as to where

when you say dremel or file down the center what do you mean? would it not fit well already?

it wont fit. you will try to put the wheel on and the rear hub on the 93-96 hubs is wider. So the wheel will not go on. You need to take the center cap off. and file around the inside of the wheel. You will likely see a very small lip under where the center cap is. that is usually what is blocking the wheel from going on.

You can go to a place like autozone and buy a metal file kit. for about $5-10, once you get it. put on some gloves and file each wheel in the center. it will take about 5 min a wheel. and once you finish, test fit it etc and if it deosnt fit, file some more down. I would probably do all 4 wheels so you can rotate them with out issues. Its really simple.

The hub "button" on the rear axles are a tad bit bigger on LT-1 generation cars, so the hole at the center of the wheel is just a tad too small.
