[&:] bluovl welcome to the corvette camaro limited wheel option store. the offset for both these cars is huge and is one most common to front drive vehicles but the lug pattern is not common for the rims made with that offset. if you search there are a few companies with a a couple of options for you. all of the corvette rims will fit(some factory ones have to have the hub opening ground out to fit camaro axles) aftermarket ones should work without mods. there is a company on ebay that sells aftermarket vette rims very reasonably but the options are limited. I went with 17x9 as it seems 17 in tires give you more options and helps to fill up the wheel well a little better and leave room for future brake upgrades. also in retrospect i think i would have gotten a staggered set(1 inch wider rim in back, more like a corvette) to get some more rubber on the ground. that company on ebay will bang you around $600 including shipping for a set kurt
