No, they will not fit unless you use an adapter...they are a 5 lug hub, but use a different diameter bolt pattern

Measure the bolt pattern...

Machismo... That tire size calculator site you referred us to, I beleive that also has instructions for measureing bolt patterns. Would you be kind enough to refresh our memory on what the link is?

I would think though, that those camaro rims are 5 on 4.5... Or 5 or 4.75...

Thats the experience I've had with chevy bolt patterns.
My olds' rims are 5 on 4.5.

Oh... one thing...

I hope you arent planning to lower your ride with those IROC rims on there...

They're RWD rims, so they're going to stick WAY out past your fender wells. It'll look sweet, but big bumps might send your tire straight into your fender, may cause some damage...

Airbaggedcierra, do you have problems with your wheels hitting your fenders?

Good deal for 100 bux, but you will have more headache it sounds like that its worth...

Find some 97 or so cavalier 5 spoke wheels... Same idea, but they're made for FWD and they'd likely fit a bit closer.

With the 13x7 reverse and std offset wire wheels my fender lips will sit directly on top of the tires. it doesn't hurt the fenders surprisingly, but cuts tires pretty good when they hit, won't pop them but it cuts the tread up. he really shouldn't have a problem w/ that unless his fenders will be sitting 1.5-2" or less from the tires. Also it isn't to smart to but a bigger rim 16" on up RWD rim on a FWD car.

FWD GM's bolt pattern is metric, 5 X 115mm your RWD rims are 5 X 4 3/4. i really don't think they work at all, the adaptor is going to be around an inch thick, so the wheels will be way out passed the fenders.
