Camaro Wheels not fitting

20” staggered Camaro SS wheels. I am trying to install on my 2014 PPV. The tears don’t set flat against the rotor and thus wobble. Front seems fine. What am I missing?

the wheels absolutely should (will) fit - are you removing steel wheels? Zeta application wheels are all the same hub bore/register size and do interchange.
Check for rust buildup on the hub register (the part that extends beyond the rotor/wheel mounting surface). Use some elbow grease, rust-buster, wire brush, emery/crocus cloth to get rid of any junk /corrosion. Check wheel bore(s) to be sure they're not banged up in some way.

Just resurrecting an old post to reinforce the point Bill made. I just swapped to the 18" LT wheels off a 2016 Camaro from my old dinged up & rusting police steelies. The tire shop I was using could NOT get the wheels to mount correctly on the first attempt, same problem - not seating properly on the hub. The manager had them take the surface down to bare metal by cleaning the rust off the hub register (106K worth of corrosion) with a wire brush, after this was done BAM! Wheels slid right on.
SO... if your 2016-2019 Camaro alloy wheels will not fit at first try, you know what you have to do. Clean up those hubs!
