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
