Default will 97-99 Z28 wheels fit 93-96 models?

What mods have to be done to make the 5 star wheels work on a 93-96 model camaro?

You have to get a dremel or a metal file and file down the metal lip inside of the bore of the wheel. That lip is what is stopping it from sliding on. The rear hubs of 93-96 are larger.

It doesn't take long at all. I spent maybe 2-3 mins per wheel on mine. You don't have to grind the lip flush with the wheel, maybe half of it.

it doesnt take long at all.. I use a metal file and it still only takes a couple minutes per wheel. I just file down a little and then test it out/file more until it slides on.
