'02 Camaro SS wheels on '70 Le Mans/GTO - anyone done this?
I have a set of cherry '02 Camaro SS wheels sitting in my garage, waiting for a purpose in life. I want to see how they look on my 70 Le Mans Sport ragtop. I'm in the midst of a restification, having updated the suspension and brakes (Global West negative camber upper arms, tall spindle disc conversion), so I'm open to non-standard wheel diameters if they look good and work well on the car.
If I recall correctly, they are 17" x 9", not sure of the backspacing. Bolt pattern looks close, but I know that the '09 Camaro used a metric bolt size and possibly the pattern is metric as well. I know that spacers/adapters are available for other combinations, just wondering if anyone has done this particular combination. Are there specific adapters/spacers for using these wheels on GM A-body cars? Who makes the highest quality spacer/adapters? Which ones are junk and should be avoided?

I've got a set of 16x8 Fourth-Gen wheels waiting to go on my '69. I bought some used billet adapters, 1-3/4" thick on the front and 1" on the back to space them out. The bolt pattern is the same. You use 7/16" nuts to hold the adapter onto the hub and 12mm nuts on the wheels to the adapter.

I'd love to see some pictures if/when you finally get them mounted. It'll be a while before I get around to mounting mine.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
