Don ... it doesn't fit...

I'm running the 22" M&H's... and the Camaro has the 23" front runners....
the only rim that really works is a Mini Spare rim...

The real issue with a standard 4" rim is that they don't build in the bead
lip on both sides... so your stuck with picking between a mini spare or an
aluminum wheel by someone like Huff... ( and the requirement to have it
tested each year )  The Mini spare of course has a bead lip on both the
inside and the out....

The only reason the bead lip has any merit is, in the case of a spin it aids
in maintaining the tire on the rim.

Keith ( by the way they are cheap )( don't forget to weld up the inside all
the way around.)
