Camaros are 120mm not 114.3mm trust me i know what your going through i have a set TSW's off a bmw looked like they fit after i bought them found out they didnt...********...whatever got rid of them gxl's are supposed to be the luxury model for rx7s that button is the Auto Adjust Suspension and does exactly what it says sport for spirited driving and normal for daily driving

I think the bolt pattern is the same - 5x114.3mm or 5x4.5", but the offset is definitely wrong.&nbsp The Camaro rims will hit everything inside the wheel well when you try and mount them on your FC...

Depends ont he year of the Camaro. If its a 4th gen, it will hit the inside of the wheelwell, but the older ones used a different offset that is more toward the outside. Then he'd be rubbing all over the edge of the fender
