Question another wheel question

Will stock 15" 3rd gen Camaro (82-92) wheels work on my 78 Cutlass without an issue?

How about the 16" wheels from the 90-92 camaro's?


reason I ask is right now I am just scavenging through craigslist for a cheap set of wheels for my car temporarily and found a couple of these sets.

thanks

They have the same bolt pattern. The issue is offset. I think those wheels are close to zero offset, so you should be fine. One thing to be aware of is the taper angle on the lug nut seats in the wheel. The cars with metric threads use a different taper angle than those with SAE lug threads. For safety you really want to use the correct lugs for the wheels. Unfortunately I think a 78 still has SAE threads.
