Default Older Style ZR1 Wheels on a 68 Camaro

I picked up a set of older style corvette ZR1 wheels, i think they were on some camaros as well. They are 17x9.5 how much work will it take to get these on a stock 68 camaro. I am still in the building stage and have not firgured out my front or rear suspension, so i am very much open. let me know what my best approach is. thank you

Yup, you will need adapters. This thread should be able to get you in the right direction https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=16071

I run the C4 ZR1 on mine in 17x8 front and 17x11 rears. I run 2-3/8" wheel adapters on the front (stock subframe).

With the 17x9.5 fronts I assume you'd run a 275 tires on there, which will be tricky to fit on the front without rubbing and you will most definitely compromise some turning radius with a stock subframe, if that matters to you.
