Where can I find data on the dimensions on the original wheels for a Camaro. I have a 96 Z28 and a 68 Cpe and I am thinking about picking up a set of wheels. Will a single set fit both cars or is there a slight pattern diffence?

Thanks,
Chad

the pattern is going to be the same on both sets (5 x 4 3/4), but the backspacings are going to be slightl different. However, a 93-97 z28 wheel is not so wide, so there will be less backspacing, and they might fit the 68 just, but they are not the best looking. And visa versa, the wheels for the 68 on the 96 might stick out too far. This is assuming that you are hoing to interchange a set of factory wheels from one car to another...?

Thanks for your reply. No, I'm not planning on using the factory wheel. The 96 is a daily driver, but the 68 is not on the road at all. I would like to get rims for the 68 and then use them on the 96 until the 68 is streetable, but that could be a while.
