As far as I know they fit just fine.

rears with 285s didn't fit, flush against wheel well on the inside.

a proper spacer setup could fix that, I'd think....

20, 22, 25, 30 mm spacer/adapter (Camaro application)

H&R does make thinner spacers http://www.trakplus.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - similar to those below (from Motorsport Tech), but not for the GM Zeta wheel hub ID/OD

custom spacers:

Looks like I'll have to fit one of my fronts and one of my coupe rears to see how they fit.

I ran H&R Trak+ spacers on my MINI Clubman S on the Autobahn at speeds up to 145mph and on the Nurburgring throwing it into curves. I always look to H&R first for wheel spacers.

I just picked a set of sedan wheels and the front tires rub on the pass side strut and the drivers side has maybe a 1/8 in... Anybody else had that issue? Seems like it has quite a bit more - camber on the passenger side front and rear. I thought it seems to stick better going left lol is this normal on these? My car has 25k now and is nice and tight yet and was really hoping these wheels would bolt right on :(

Would you need to run longer studs with 20mm spacers? I bought the car with 285's on CTSV's so I thought they fit until I noticed wear on the inner fender liner. Now I'm concerned.

Unless it’s all the time, don’t be. We’ve ‘polished’ the inner fender wells of our 3rd Gen Firebird with Hoosier slicks every time we install a new set. They also rub on the LCAs a bit. Except for the time we ran new tires after the fresh mini-tub install, and discovered a bead of welding rod sitting proud :x , we’ve been fine.
