Questions about Wheel Adapters

Ok so I have some 16inch wheels from a 4th gen camaro, trying to put them on my 3rd gen firebird which came with 16's. What type of adapters do I need and how much of spacing, also where is a good place to pick some up online or in store or does anyone have any they are looking to sell?

Thank you much

I am pretty sure they require 2 inch spacers. Look on ebay or in the for sale section on here.

1.5 inch spacers work just fine. I just put 17 inch 4th gen wheels on my car and originally had 2 inch spacers. The front look fine and perform fine but the rear stick out so far I couldnt stand it. Also my car is lowered, pretty low so the tires would actually rub on the rear fender lip. I could not stand this, so I went out and bought 1.5 inch spacers and problem solved. I paid $59.99 with free shipping from this ebay listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5x4-7...Q5fAccessories. This is what I would recommend 1.5 inch spacers all the way around, worked perfect for me, although I still have the 2 inch ones up front lol.
