I have a  set of 1993 Z-28 camaro wheels. 16 x 8 . Has anyone used wheel 
adaptors and  mounted these type wheels on a 1965 corvair? If so what size tires 
did you  use.
Thanks




They can fit, but it takes a really thick adapter/spacer (2.5 to 3 inches?)  
to get the offset right. The Corvette people have those adapters, they were  
commonly used to adapt 1984-87 Vette wheels to the 1975-82 Corvettes. They are  
also expensive and massive. My suggestion would be to not do it. The  
possibilities for out-of-balance conditions are high. Look for the earlier IROC  
wheels (1985-92). Those are also 16 x 8 and do not need spacers (depending on  the 
tire choice) to fit the Vair. - Seth
