Question Need help fast.. wheel dilemma!

Hello,
I have a 91 RS camaro that still has the bone stock wheels that are pink (used to be red) and it is time for an upgrade. I have noticed that on ebay there are camaro wheels for sale but most are for 93 camaros and up, and i really like the style of them. ( not to mention some of them are a good buy) . Do any of you know any camaro wheels 93 and up that will fit a 91 rs . or any trans am wheels ??? any insight is greatly apreciated, and as soon as new wheels go on the good ole cams will apreciate it to ! thanks fellas ( any other good wheels deals u know of holla those at me too )

good ole cams will apreciate ??? I hope you arent saying what i think you are saying? Your car only has 1 (one, uno) cam. Not 2 or 4. Besides, your cam has nothing to do with your wheels.......whatever, i guess im just missing what you where trying to say.

As far as the rims go, the 93 style rims will fit on your car but i think you have to have spacers on the back, im not sure but at least you know that much.

Im not exactly sure where you can get wheel spacers, www.thirdgen.org go there and ask those guys i know alot of those guys have put 4th gen rearends in there cars and that requires spacers too i think. Or if you just put 4th gen rims on a 3rd gen then you have to use spacers. Good luck with your find....

The short story on 4th Gen wheels----THEY WILL NOT FIT ON 3rd Gen cars. They require Spacers that are worth more then the 4Th Gen Wheels. End of story .

www.skulte.com has the spacers you need, and all the info on swapping them.

87DJP2001 is right, at a little over $300, they just aren't worth it for the ugly run of the mill 16" 4th gen wheels. The 17" SS and WS6 wheels are another story!

Sure, there are literally hundreds of choices. Just because they don't specifically list them for your car doesn't mean they won't fit. You will need a 5x4.75 bolt pattern wheel with anywhere from 3.5" to 5.5" backspacing depending on wheel width.
