wheels dont fit

[v6droptop]

tried to put some 16x8s off a 2000 Z-28 onto a 96 with drum brake rear and they didnt fit.
Seems as tho the center hole in the newer wheels is a bit smaller and so it wont fit over the axle flange.
The front fit just fine.
Whats so odd is this is the same style wheel just a chromed version of it.

Re: wheels dont fit

The 2000 cars had snowflakes whereas the 96 had salad shooters. What wheels do you have?
As for why they don't fit, I don't exactly understand what your saying, the wheel would have to be significantly smaller to not fit over the drum..

Re: wheels dont fit

axle flange not the drum
Maybe they were 1999s but both are same style
5 spokes,just that the Z-28 wheels are chromed.

97+, they had smaller hubs in the rear. You can sand them down lightly and they will fit.

Re: wheels dont fit

This is directly from TA Creations website:

5-spoke silver and Chrome wheel interference problems on 93-96 F-bodies : 5-spoke silver and chrome wheels will not fit on rear of 93-96 Camaros due to a lack of clearance between the wheel hub and the rear axle shaft. Factory 93-96 axle shafts have a 70.75 mm diameter hub face, while the 97-02 5-spoke silver and chrome wheels have a 70.5 mm diameter hub opening. Minor grinding/machining is mandatory for installing those wheels on 93-96 models.

Re: wheels dont fit

thanks I will forward that to the new owner of wheels.
Ive never had a drum brake car so Im guessing I would never have that issue.
They fit my 97 Y 87 just fine and went to put them on the 96 with no luck.
this explains it to a "T".
