adapters look to be $200
might it just be cheaper to find better rims

swap toyota front hubs and do a toyota rear end. that will give the better bolt pattern. it will cost more but nicer in the long run

Also the Toyota hubs would allow you to tuck some wheels, the rear end is a little more narrow. And I believe the front may come in a bit more also. I could be wrong about the front though. :think:

I would not do adapters, they will push the wheel out like an inch or two, you will never tuck anything. Best way to do it is swap to toyota hubs and rotors up front and redrill or toyota rear end in the back. There is a thread on Toyota 5lug swap if you want to look into it.

You are all missing the point of his question - using the camaro wheels. The toyota swap won't work because it is a 5x4.5 bolt pattern, and the camaro wheels are 5x4.75. He would need to swap to s10 hubs and rear axle to make them fit, and I haven't seen anyone do that one on here yet.

Oh. I'm sorry, completely forgot about the bolt pattern of the rims.
