Wheels/Bolt Pattern

So I am coming from the Mustang world and this is my first Camaro. Mustangs had the same bolt pattern and one wheel would fit many different years.

Does the same hold true for Camaros? What about Corvettes? For example would a 2011 ZR1 wheel fit my '17 ZL1, etc.

Will be looking into a drag setup, and wondering what forums/groups I could look in other than just 6th gen Camaro forums.

Thanks for the help everyone!

The 5th and 6th gen Camaros share the same bolt pattern ( 5 x 120). Everything on the C6 ZR1 I found showed a bolt pattern of 5 x 120.65.

Camaro5.com and LS1Tech.com would be two other source of drag racing setup info.

Bolt patterns are the same on Camaros and Corvettes. Offset is different so vette wheels don't clear the brembo brakes on the Camaro. But Camaro to Camaro they can be swapped. I have a set of Welds from my 5th Gen ZL1 that I plan to use on the 6th Gen Z.

One you start moving away from stock sizes the model to model clearances can be a bit tighter such as 17" wheels clearing brakes, LCA and e-brake lines. Some even change their brakes to V6 ones so they can get smaller diameter wheels on. The high end wheel makers nail the spec very well.

You're welcome to test fit my welds if you want to check before buying something.

Im thinking of ordering some replica Corvette wheels, like an 18". My friend Jeff with a C7Z has done the same and told me to look into it. If I can get some replicas that fit, id rather do that than invest in some Welds.
