C7 Corvette Rims on LS1 Camaro

When I asked the question across multiple forum platforms, no one seemed to know the answer on whether or not OEM C7 stingray rims would fit on an F-body. Long story short, they do and they can with a bit of minor work.

Installing C7 Rims on the LS1 Camaro

Quick notes about my 2002 Camaro. I have a Ford 8.8 rear end that is the same width as factory. I am lowered on Strano Springs/Koni Yellow shocks. I now run front Cadillac ATS calipers with C7 Corvette rotors.

The rear offset is off for our cars, so you’ll need to run a set of spacers if you want these OEM rims. I found these hub centric spacers for the rear of Camaro with the right offset: https://amzn.to/3efPg0F . It’s a perfect snug fit, actually I had to touch my inside rim hub with some quick sandpaper to help ease the fit, but I think that was mostly due to the powder coating that was done. A few minutes with some coarse sand paper and my hand and it was solved and you can’t tell as that part of the rim rests on the hub anyways.

After getting the back rims on and taking it for a drive, I was just catching the rear tire on the fender. I ordered up a fender rolling tool: https://amzn.to/3SMj6ca. As long as you make sure that you have a good heat gun and go slowly, rolling the fenders is really easy and I did not get any bend or crease in my rear fenders as some others have experienced. That said, I heated the fender lip every pass and made very small changes to the roller. Each side took me about an hour to roll taking my time. Get yourself a good heat gun that pushes 700*F or more and don’t get too close to your paint. Take your pick of these cheap heat guns here if you don’t have one, you don’t need anything fancy: https://amzn.to/3Mg8orS

The Fender rolling tool comes with no instructions, so do yourself a favor and watch this YouTube video I found and save yourself about 2 hours of trying to figure it out like I did. Word of caution, I would not use a hammer like these guys did, that’s almost guaranteed to chip your paint. I only used the heatgun and the roller tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfcARPyQLnY

The fronts rims fit with no issues on my first test fit, however, because I upgraded to Cadillac ATS front brakes at the same time I swapped to my new rims, I had to buy a spacer to clear the front calipers. The hubcentric spacer I used for the front is this 20mm one: https://amzn.to/3T4sIi5. I did not have to cut my studs to get these to fit. The amount the factory studs stuck out fit perfectly inside the indents on the rim.
