well from what i know if it's the stock corvettes set up then the fronts will go one without any problem but i knwo that the rears have a deeper offset and won't go on a camaro without a spacer (which from personal experance is a bad i idea) or working the inner wheel well. IMO - it would just be easier to find a set MADE for our camaros rather than getting the corvette's set and trying to make them work.

Rims

So what was the problem that you had experienced with the spacer? and I should just go with the same size 17's all around?

spacers make leverage to break parts think of the wheel like a prybar the farther from the car it gets (a spacer moves the wheel outward) easier to do damage
