Default wagon wheels, what spacers?

okay so i have the 95 3.4 and im guessing the hubs are different sizes than that of the Z28? i'm told the hub holes in the rims themselves have to be bored out a little to fit and I also need spacers, i've found proper spacers but am not sure what width i should go with? and is any fender rolling or hammering neccesary? I'm worried about the turn in on the front tires mostly, the rims i have had 295's on it so im going down to alot smaller width for the tire to hopefully avoid any rubbing there also.

and i didnt search the forums for these particular questions but couldnt find them, i'm sure you guys have answered this a million times over

I took it as he meant the newer style 97 and up Camaro 5 spoke wheels? Guess you could call them wagon wheels, kinda.

So you are going from the rims I have on the front to the rims I have on the back? If so yes they need a modding. I used a Caliper hone it took about ten minutes with a decent drill. You only need to do the back wheel unless you want to rotate them at some point.

I know that they are 17's in the front and 18's in the back i believe the sizes of the rims i have are 8.5"width (front) and i am pretty sure the backs are 9.5" correct me if i'm wrong

Ok, the vette wheels. I am running the same dimension vette wheel except mine are y2k. I only have a 1/4" spacer on the car right now and it doesn't rub.
