Camaro wheel match stock column? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking into buying an old rope style Camaro wheel for my truck, but was just wondering how well the back ring matches up to the stock column diameter. Does it look like it was meant to be there, or does it look too big or too small or anything like that. I think it is off a 1980 model or something if that helps.

The base diameter may well be dead on. The F-body cars didn't go to the large diameter column untill 82, so (without knowing for sure) I would say it'll probably look OK.

I hope so, I just sent money to JT Miller for one he is selling. Acutally I've seen posts with a Camaro wheel on the column and it looked fine.

I have a camero wheel, it is about 1/8" larger on each side. They look okay. John

I can live with 1/8" larger. Thanks for the help, and looks like I'll be going for a Camaro wheel.
